Karakia at PPS
We start each day and each meal with a blessing.
Senior Karakia Tīmatanga- to start the day
Whakataka te hau ki te uru, Cease the winds from the West,
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga. Cease the winds from the South.
Kia mākinakina ki uta, Let the breeze blow over the land,
Kia mātaratara ki tai, Let the breeze blow over the ocean,
E hī ake ana te atākura Let the red tipped dawn come
He tio, he huka, he hauhū. With a sharpened air, A touch of frost
Tīhei, Mauri Ora! and a promise of a glorious day
