Tangaroa, Atua of the Ocean
Tāwhirimātea, Atua of the Weather
With the crashing of the waves, I hear your voice
The breeze against my face, I feel your whispers
My feet in the sand, I walk the beach you rest on
The droplets of rain, I feel your tears
I dive into the surf, we embrace each other fast
The sun on my back, I feel your arm over my shoulders
The sandcastles make, we build our lives together
The clouds above, mirror our same movement below
The creatures of the sea, our pets we swim alongside
The mist that surrounds me, is the cloak that protects us
Tangaroa and Tāwhirimatea ensure we are together always

It gives me joy and pride to see my dear friend, Petera, and his beautiful family, friends, and supporters. Petera is a unique and standout person. He shares generously and with love. I learn so much about what humanity can be reading his warm and love-filled messages. He, Marie-Louise, the family they have raised, and the good people he gathers around him give me hope for our world
