Here is a tribute to my loss July 2, 2011..may my dad rest in peace ...I miss him dearly!
Liliu,Liliu, away, away, far away
My dad, my dad, “I will be okay”
I kissed his nose, I kissed his lips, and I kissed ‘niaupio style’
and as I entered the real world for the first time, I said
“goodbye my dad!”
Fronting 41-646 Kalanianaole Hwy ‘our home’
far out at sea, I aligned myself with the invisible highway
I turned to the right and looked longingly for my dad
between the two peaks of Olomana—straight line
I turned to the left to array ‘Makapu’u point’ to balance myself on the edges of our lele
and I --”daddy take me with you” my sweet rose of Maunawili
birds…ne’er, ne’er, vale
