A horn-honking,
street-cheering city,
a cacophony
of car horns,
and revelry,
laughing and waving-
Canada makes Olympic history.
Toronto celebrates!
As soon as the last overtime gold goal was scored,
people piled out of taverns, their homes, cheering.
You reach for the stars, Team Canada,
and they're gold.
Medals, a constellation of 14 stars
helping the country navigate
now-An Olympic record, and first time
for us on home soil.Rubbing gold stars
from our eyes
in disbelief...
The red maple leaf,
our flag
flying high tonight.
The streets of Toronto explode into a Winter party.
A whole country berserk with celebration.
Congratulations, Canada.
