Home Sweet Home
H ale lani is the name of our hillside home
O n top of the Waianae mountain range.
M enehunes were known to roam here, often
E nveloped by mysterious misty clouds.
S erenity dwells here now that our keiki have grown
W elcome they are when they return home on
E aster, Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
E veryone shares home cooked meals to celebrate.
T imbers grace our mountain's face overlooking the sea below.
H appiness abides because our mo'opuna wahine shares
O ur home. We cherish our growing 'ohana and those precious
M oments when our 'ohana is gathered together again.
E very sunrise I give thanks for our heavenly home.
