Canada Eh

Hey,

Yes I am Canadian,

and in being a Canadian doesn't mean I watch hockey,

or wear plaid,

or drink Timmies everyday,

being Canadians means
I am different.

Yes I'm Portuguese,

No, my mom isn't a cleaning lady,

nor is my dad a construction worker,

with a heavy moustache and accent, 

nor do I eat fish everyday,

or worship Christiano Ronaldo,

or yell all the time,

and no I don't know Miguel,

and my name is not Maria

and yes there is more than one Cordeiro.

I am Portuguese,

and I am educated, 

and will have a successful future.

I am Portuguese,
and I am proud.

Although I am Canadian,
and Portuguese,
I am more than a label,
or stereotype,
I am a citizen,
and will always be proud of where I came from.
