(L)ifting spirits with a giving hand,
(O)ffering kindness across the land.
(V)oices sing in laughter’s light,
(E)very heart glows warm and bright.
(H)olding fast to ancient ways,
(O)pening doors where friendship stays.
(P)eople share, no wealth required,
(E)very soul with love inspired.
(U)nited strong, no one apart,
(N)urturing warmth within the heart.
(I)n every gift, a bond is sown,
(T)ogether rising, never alone.
(Y)es, through kindness, we are free.
Under stars, the past still guides,
Nurtured roots where hope resides.
In our hands, the future grows,
Through manaakitanga, the spirit flows.
