Mēri Kirihimete

E te pāpā tēnā koe, He tau ātaahua tēnei. Kua oti hau i aku tohu mātauranga Ba me te Ma i te tau kōtahi. Hēna, he rerekē rawa te ao e noho nei tātou i tēnei wā ki te wā i a koutou nā. Ka hangahia mai e te Pākehā i tēnei mea te rorohiko. Nā te mihini nei ka taea e tātou te tae atu ki ngā whenua katoa o te ao mā te kōtahi pātene, nā te pēhi o te pātene rānei. He rerekē hoki. Hoi, arā atu ōna painga hoki. Kai te noho tonu hau i te kāinga i te Matatā te waahi i pakeke mai ai koe i te taha o tō māmā me tō pāpā e Kerera Wīhapi rāua ko Rota. He ātaahua tonu te kāinga nei i ēnei rā. He hiahia katoa nō ngā Pākehā ki te hūnuku mai ki tēnei kāinga hehehe. Nā te ātaahua tonu i whakaatū atu ki rātou kia hara mai. Nō reira ko te wā Kirihimete tēnei o te tau 2011. Mēri Kirihimete pāpā me ngā mihi o te tau hou ki a koutou katoa. Mehe ai koe i te ora tonu i tēnei wā kua eke koe ki ngā tau 70. Tō mokopunaxx
