Inspirational Love Poem ~ My New Found Land The Place I Love
by Morris Hodder


my newfoundland the place i love

let me tell you of a place that's dear to me

a wind swept island surrounded by sea

her rugged coastline that waves crash upon

while over head seabirds glide by singing their song

her pristine rivers lakes and ponds glisten in the sun

where as a boy i fished swam and boated for fun

her beautiful forest with trees thick and tall

that built our homes and boats also gave firewood for all

her wonderful people honest fun genuine and true

that endured too many hardships for me to tell you

the many types of fish that men and women brought ashore

something for everyone cod halibut lobster shrimp and scallops galore

it's a land where moose caribou rabbits and foxes play

along with many other wild animals everyday

where the beautiful mountains scenery of gros morne touches the sky

also the little out ports in their slender meet the sea close by

yes it took a special breed of people along with god above

to make this place called newfoundland the place i love
