"newfoundland and labrador the first thousand years newfoundland and labrador raised a heritage tree. one thousand years of progress displayed for all to see. the beothucks once roamed the woods, prospered on this land. from fur to fish and nature's food lived by skill of hand. the vikings sailed our rocky coast. john cabot found this shore. the king's men and the pirates clashed in days of yore. the french and english on this isle disputed with the gun. when animosity was laid aside then the peace was won. see beauty in this rugged land. there are riches yet unfound. the people are a treasure trove. more wealth lies in the ground gold and silver, iron and lead zinc and copper too. there's oil beneath the ocean bed great riches not in view. we have icebergs, barren land, timbered slopes galore. fishing grounds, nor'easter storms, wild rivers and more. on labrador the dogs still run, the snowmobile as well. the ancient and the modern ways in harmony now dwell. newfoundland and labrador join hands across the strait. understanding makes us one, diversity makes us great. with loving care by faithful ones our legacy, it appears, will reach into a future time. another thousand years copyright 2003 "   Submitted By: NULL
