After reading your charming commetns today, I thought I should look you up and get a little better acquainted. I had to smile, as i too am Canadian, although I have lived in the U.S. for many years now. My father was French and my mother was Irish. My French grandfather did not speak English, unless he was forced into it! So we have some similarities in our backgrounds.
Thank you Anna! I and my readers are greatful to you because you expressed so well what we all feel. If you ever want to read comments on your poem, this is the address: http://tanyasgarden.blogspot.com
Thanks again for your poignant, meaningful words!
