Great Canada by -Eromosele Okhilua
Great Canada
Our beautiful embraced home
Beautiful environment
With evergreen trees
Sweet scenting flowers
With luscious pastures.
Great Canada
our sweet lovely assumed home
with magnificent people
with their warm embrace, I feel warm
in the winter
with their great hospitality, I feel
cool in the summer
with the beautiful colours on the
trees, I feel overjoyed during fall
Great Canada
with its stunning sights
an exquisite wild life
Great Canada
great and free
the beautiful true north
Espoused Canada,
By Iferi Jubi Joseph
Espoused Canada
Not an indigene but my espoused home
Welcomed and accepted by all.
Espoused Canada
How green and wild she is
Flourishing with sons from far and wide
Espoused Canada
Espoused Canada
So privilege we are to be her sons
God preserve thee we pray
Espoused Canada.
HOME AWAY FROM HOME,
By Christiana Afeni
Coming into this land as an
inexperienced being
But been accepted with warming hands
My adopted home Canada!
A land which there is no face like
mine
But still took it as my father’s land
My adopted home Canada!
This land gave me experiences about so
many things
That made me gains the whole world
My adopted home Canada!
Without any experience of guilt in me
I would surely stand for my new home
My adopted home Canada!
My
New Found Home, -Victory
Iferi
So unique from what was once known;
My new found home,
Received with open hands and much love
Nothing more could be asked from me
Treading a land blessed as this,
I am a privileged one.
Taught with kindness and honesty,
Gradually, I’ve learned to be a better
person.
My family I once not knew,
My new found home.

Canada! Canada!!
Neoteric adopted abode
Different races without racism
She is exquisite
Luminous like a rainbow
Her pitiless blue sky
Diverse mode of worship in a low key
Will serve her land even if it’s not my predecessors
Will one day be part of her?
Canada blessed with fertile grounds
Endowed with the winter, spring, summer and autumn
She gave birth to intelligent off springs
Will make her mine!!!

CANADA- COLOURS OF
FEELINGS-
IN DIFFERENT SHADES AND
CONTRAST
RUNNING WITH THE WIND OF
RED STRIPES
WITH CLOUDS MADE OF THE
RAINBOW
MIXED FEELINGS
WITH DIFFERENT COLOUR
DANCING IN DIFFERENT FORMS,
AN INSTANT IT TURNS PITCH
BLACK
THEN WITH AN OUTBURST OF
THE SUN RADIANCE
EVERY VIEW OF THE WORLD IN
BRIGHTFORM
WITH THE RED GIVING A FEEL
OF PARADISE
THE ORANGE LEAVES FORMING A
CASTLE
AND THE WARM FEEL OF THE
WIND LIKE THE
BLUE SKY,
SILVER STREAKS FROM THE SKY
AND THICK BLACK CLOUDS
THE ONLY THING THAT
COLOURED HIS LIFE
WAS FADED AS THE PALE HORSE
WHICH ROD BY
TO TAKE HER LIFE,
ALL THING’S BECAME GENESIS
SLOW AND DROWSY IS FADED REND
HEAR FEEL
LIFELESS
TO REGAIN JOY REAL
HAPPINESS IS INTRODUCED
SPEED! HE CONSUMES &
GIVES HIM DELIGHTFUL JOY AND COLOURS
AS HE FLIES INTO THE MADE
OF PARADISE
SOON HE STARTS T O REGAIN
CONSCIOUSNESS
GREY!
YEARS OF CRUSHED FEELINGS
LIKE GROUND WHEAT
SITUTATIONS BECOME AND
EVERYDAY LIFESTYLE
IN THE END LIFE STARTED
BEING FAIR
COLOUR THE WAY YOU SEE IT
LIFE YOU COMMAND ITS SHADE
BE THE PAINTER OF YOUR LIFE
Canada, By Samir Kabalan
The land in the North,
Where the heavily blown wind goes forth,
Though the winter freezes the soul,
It has the most beautiful nature of all,
A path to the cold places,
Yet a place full of friendly faces,
Being here in the west,
Gives the comfort of being blessed,
A country of peace,
Here we live in ease,
A nation that’s strong and free,
Forever it will be!
