Kua hainatia e au ki teenei wharangi ipurangi kia taea e au te whakanui i taku Koroua, araa, ko Selwyn Raukawa Park. Ko ia te koroua o taku paapaa ki te taha o toona mama. Ko te take kei runga nei au, na te mea i te rangahau ai au i teetahimema o taku whaanau. Kua rongo au i weetahi koorero e paa ana ki a ia, engari, he tangata rawe rawa ia. I puta mai te tumeke i au ki te kite i a ia. Ka maumahara ia mo ngaa raa katoa e heke mai ana. Arohanui. Naku noa, Te Ariki
