PÅkarekare ana, ngÄ wai o Waiapu Whiti atu koe hine, marino ana e | The waves are breaking, against the shores of Waiapu, My heart is aching, for your return my love. |
E hine e, hoki mai ra, ka mate ahau i te aroha e. | Oh my beloved girl, come back to me, I could die of love for you. |
Tuhituhi taku reta, tuku atu taku rÄ«ni Kia kite tÅ iwi, raruraru ana e. | I have written you a letter, and enclosed with it my ring, So your people could see it how much I’m troubled for you.. |
E hine e, hoki mai ra, ka mate ahau i te aroha e. | Oh my beloved girl, come back to me, I could die of love for you. |
Whatiwhati taku pene, kua pau aku pepa Ko taku aroha, mau tonu ana e. | My poor pen is broken, my paper is spent, But my love for you endures, and remains forever more. |
E hine e, hoki mai ra, ka mate ahau i te aroha e. | Oh my beloved girl, come back to me, I could die of love for you. |
E kore te aroha, e maroke i te rÄ MÄkÅ«kÅ« tonu i aku roimata e. | The sun’s hot sheen, won’t scorch my love, Being kept evergreen, by the falling of my tears. |
E hine e, hoki mai ra, ka mate ahau i te aroha e. | Oh girl, Come back to me, I could die of love for you. |
When I was in the school choir we sang this lovely Maori poem. I can still recite all its beautiful words. I hope you enjoy it…

Thought For The Day…
A PRECIOUS HUMAN LIFE
Every day think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a precious human life. I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself. To expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others. I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.
H. H The XIV Dalai Lama…
