E Kate, hoki atu ki te Kaihanga, ki te karanaga o Hinenuiitepo.
Ki te ponui, ki te po roa, ki te po kahore he otinga.
Ko te tatau o te po i mua i a koe.
Hoki atu ki te kaitiaki o te po.
No reira, haere, haere, okioki atu ra.

In Memoriam
TIPPETT, Richard Selwyn.
Five years ago today.
No one knows how much I miss you,
No one knows the bitter pain,
I have suffered since I lost you,
Life has never been the same.
In my heart your memory lingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day, dear father,
That I do not think of you.Love – Toni.
