The Poem “The Blood of Canada” set to music; just click on “Music” to hear it.
The blood of Canada runs in great rivers and lakes
Onward to the oceans changing colour as it creates

Lifeblood for all its sons and daughters

In green for the forests and black for its soil

In blue for its waters from shore to shore to shore


Red for the passion a great country invokes 

As its peoples move wherever, forever shunning yokes

Spilled blood overseas and colouring Europe so red

Canadians have left their blood in places that created much dread


Our  blood of strong bonds will withstand much stress

As hollow fools under a foreign power want Canada to oppress

Never before has there been so overt a blood threat

From those with whom Canadians lost blood with never a debt


Yet Canada to the north is brilliant in the light 

With lands and forests ever holding and ocean surfs ever pounding 

Within the sound of its great silence in far reaching vistas so free

Its life blood red, ever pulsing, for Canadians won’t  bend a knee
