From US to You
by Jo Taylor

O Canada
northern neighbor
land of ancient
and modern
beauty
mistsliver springs
emerald summers
red and gold
patchquilt autumns and
white-lace winters

you stand above

I often
do not understand
your politics
your allegiance
to a foreign queen
and you surprise me
sometimes
with an icy glance
across our peaceful
border
but, O Canada
I love your people!
