HE IS A KINSMAN
By Wilf Reeves, Editor of Kin Magazine,
died in 1936
“He is a Kinsman.” Let it be
A mark of true nobility,
A badge that youth is proud to wear,
An honored name that none would dare
To smirch with word or action less
Than honesty and manliness.
“He is a Kinsman.” Let it stand
For those who love their native land;
For strong Canadian sons and true,
Who vision mighty tasks to do
To weld and build the Northern zone
By native brawn and brain alone.
“He is a Kinsman.” Let it mean
That he has sensed and he has seen
The depths of misery and pain
Around him, and his duty plain –
He’ll strive some health and help to bring
The needy and the suffering.
“He is a Kinsman.” Let it lend
Conviction to the name of friend.
Let heart reach out to heart to find
That mind has linked itself with mind;
Let comradeship so weld the tie
That Kinsmanship will never die.
