Happy 141st Birthday, Canada!

Born in the North
Amassed from your British father
Lands and peoples gathered
To fly under the Dominion

You continue to be fertile
Millions at this age and more still coming
150 nations migrated for your freedoms
May you be rich and strong far from Olympic rebukes

While fireworks and barbeque riddle your birthday bash
Many still working and some can't find any
Wrapped around my heart ribbons of red and white
Pinned unto my vest my birth land's green and black

Oh Canada
Land of widespread peace
We say Salam to your sons and daughters
Forever you be at ease.
