Stand from where I am

Today is Canada Day
July 1st, 2012
I stand from where I am
to pay homage
to my grand land!

'Tis a land of strength
Tall firs
Deep lakes
Endless
Vast

I stand from where I am
A Canadian across the sea
On the shores of the Mediterranean
It´s Barcelona´s Sagrada Familia I see.

I miss the spirit
The friendly tu a tu
The jovial "it´s great to see you"
Our "come over whenever"
For anyone in need of a friend.
