O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!

O Canada! Where pines and maples grow.
Great prairies spread and lordly rivers flow.
How dear to us thy broad domain,
From East to Western sea.
Thou land of hope for all who toil!
Thou True North, strong and free!
God keep our land glorious and free!

May stalwart sons, and gentle maidens rise,

Wow! A DOUBLE rainbow at the end of the day, at the end of the road! (Is it your road??) Canada truly is "a land of hope for all who toil" and none knows that better than you! God keep you and our land, this blessed year.
ReplyDeleteDad saw the rainbow when he arrived for dinner and took me out to see it, sheltering me from the rain under his umbrella. I felt then that of course Mum was celebrating with us ... and, Mum being Mum, it would have to be an exuberant double rainbow for the occasion!
