" At first, as I met her, l thought she was lost until she said, "Of the rest of world, I am not afraid,

Some of those who inspired me where not from here

People come to me not to become, but to be

I like them the way they are, they add color to my blue sea

I am the friend of the restless, see them as brighter as they can be

See them as they see me

Restful in my arms, yet invisible is my nurturing light
They smile now, nothing more precious to a mother than a happy child who is polite

I am the star you want to see, the hope you want to set free

Mine is the Commonwealth of the world to be"

Before she walked away, she flipped a toonie into my direction and said, "Not much, but remember to give back."

Those who know her are smitten by her grace
Those who don't know her seek her embrace

It is said that she watches over the northern abode of the gods, the gates of which, when she blushes, are marked by northern lights

A rising majestic colourful totem of peace signals her tempered western profile

It is her birthday tomorrow and I ask, "What do you give a beautiful lady who has everything?"

Lady Canada says, "just a genuine smile. "
