Canada Day - 150 Reasons to Dream!

A man is only as rich as his dreams,
Only as happy as those dreams fulfilled,
In the giving of self
To a world that is waiting;
Its children, its helpless, its aged and hurting,
For the hope that only his dreams can build.

A country is only as rich as its dreams,
Only as wealthy
As the hope that it feeds
To its children, its homeless, its helpless,
Its peoples;
Dear Canada, thank you for planting these seeds.

That this world will be made up of countries with dreams,
Fed richly with freedom till each dream comes true ,
For our children, our aged, our homeless, our helpless,
A world filled with hope,
That is my dream for you.
