Why the Maple Leaf?

Two walls to protect it Two walls of self-sacrifice Two red walls of sacrifice It is the heart of our flag It is the heart of our nation It is the heart that beats within us all Painted on the white background of opportunity Painted on the canvass of an enormous dream Painted for the world to see But why the maple leaf? Because it is a symbol of the maple A symbol of us Because it reminds us to be the maple Growing, strong as bricks, but still sweet on the inside by Josh Noble, Macklin
