All Hail Canada


Cordial people inhabit his land, so beautiful coast to coast
Diverse, strong and free, certainly many reasons to boast
On the North American Continent, from one great ocean to another
From British Columbia to Newfoundland, definitely like no other

Rich in natural resources, so many places and things to see
Many different people and cultures, so much diversity
So many different ways from immigrants, past and present and so forth
From the indigenous Indian Tribes, to the hearty Aboriginals of the north

Diverse are the Indian Nations and the Inuit People, once called Eskimos
The English and the French settled this great Country or so the story goes
They often battled for “squatter's rights” and against the Indians it is known
Maybe because of the harshness and climate, the Inuits were kinda left alone

Through so much hardship and strife, Settlers toiled and colonized this land
Sweat of brow and ache of back, they all lent a helping hand
They built this wondrous Country and made it, what it is today
Went to wars and some with their lives, ultimately would pay

In a multi-cultural society, when people contribute and get along
The country prospers economically and becomes very strong
Social services not being abused and no misappropriation, by those in power
A country will advance and truly blossom and continually will flower

This great country Canada, your ways on others, do not try to impose
Whomsoever you worship, leave the doors open, for any wishing themselves to expose
In this society, when you can't get a job, there's help when you're not able
But, if you're willing and able to work, you can always put food on your table

Canada has It's history, with many amazing stories and lore of the land
It has It's ways and cultures, not in need of an individualistic stand
New citizens or you've been allowed to reside, you'll excel, if you contribute and work
Just abide by Canada's laws and norms and other's you won't irk

If you have the privilege of residing here, thank your God and say a prayer
For if you cannot do well in Canada, you'll not do well anywhere !
