July the 1st we celebrated Canada Day and I am so very proud and fortunate to live in this country. In honour of this day, I thought I would share with you another one of my Nana's poems that she wrote in 1999.
CANADA
Canada, the land of my birth
One of the greatest countries on earth
I know that I shall never cease
To be grateful for this land of peace
This country of beauty beyond compare
Is truly endowed with riches rare
Provinces with a wealth of oil
Streams full of fish, and fertile soil
Minerals and forests and fields of grain
Spread across this vast domain
In times of war Canada does her part
Defending the country right from the start
But has compassion for countries in need
And in peace-keeping always taking the lead
A country respected far and wide
A country deserving of our pride
How blessed I was to see my first light
In a country that always stands for the right
Whenever the Maple Leaf flag is unfurled
I salute this great country of the world

A love for colour and design brought Lori to The Passionate Home. After working for a few years in the home decor industry, Lori decided that working at The Passionate Home would allow her to better express her creativity and utilize a more hands-on approach to design. She feels your home is a reflection of who you are, "we all have a bit of history that should be honored and displayed for others to see."
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
