Kotahi tau ahau i mārena ai ki taku tāne pakeke. Ko te mokopuna a taku tāne e whakamihi ana i taku hunaonga tamariki, a, ka ārahi i tētahi oranga whānau hāngai, engari kai te ngaro taku tāne i runga i te haerenga pakihi, a, he tinana pākaha tōna. I kite koe i nga whakaaro o tētahi hunaonga tamariki ... - He tama ātaahua e inoi ana ki tōna hungawai mo te mahinga tōnā! I ohorere, i pōraruraru, engari ko taku hungawai kāore i taea te whakakāhore kaha ... - Ko taku tinana e uru noa ana ki roto i nga āhuatanga!
