E tekau mā rima ōku tau.
He pai ake hoki i te waipāro. He pai ake mahi toi i te pangaru.
I te tau rua mano tēkau mā rima i tīmata au te mahi kapa haka ki te kura o west eyreton. I pai ki au te waiata. Kāore i pai ki au ngā tāngata he mataku au. He tokomaha ngā ākonga. E haka ana i te reo māori. I pohokererū tōku kare-a-roto.
Ia Rāhina, ia Rāhina i whakaharatau mātou te mahi kapa haka. He tino pai ki au te waiata Nei rā me te waiata "He Māori ahau" na Stan Walker. He tino pai ki au tena mahi. Ko Bella tōku teina, kei te mahi kapa haka ia hoki. Kua whai au i ētahi hoa tino pai i te whanau kapa haka. Kei te tino harikoa tōku kare-a-roto, nā te mea ōku hoa e mahi kapa haka ana.
I tākaro au te kēmu hoki. ko taku tūranga i te hoki he kaipatu ahau. Kei te tino aroha au te hoki. Tōku tōpūtanga ki Rangiora Hockey Club. Ia Rāpare i whakaharatau mātou te hoki.
E ai ki au, he hirahira te reo nā te mea, ki a ahau. Tine kaha te reo nā te mea, he taonga o tātou tīpuna. Tino kaha te reo.
