As the Sun Sets

As the sun sets, Traditionally; We would sit in a circle, Inside our fale to sing, Songs of worship, And to give thanks to our living God. As curfew ends, We would bring out the meal we’ve prepared, And Traditionally; Our elders are served first. As each evening passed, That was our routine. Now… As we’ve adapted, We no longer sit in a circle. We’ve been too busy, That the comfort of our aiga; Is of no importance. Hence; As the sun sets, Tradition has come to an end. fale= european house aiga= family
