Matariki a Time For Renewal

If you want your relationship with God to renew, Then June Down Under is a good time to look up at night among the stars to view God's Eyes (mata ariki) upon you, Or if you change the angle of your View, You can see Little angel eyes (mata riki) too, As a new year he brings with many treats for you, From a harvest he has blessed to be in fine hue. If you look through the mists of time for a view, Matariki might change appearance for you, And whaea (Mother), surrounded by her six daughters, Tupu-a-nuku - to remind us we have our own special time. Tupu-a-rangi - to remind us to share our gifts with others. Waipunarangi - to show kindness will come back to you. Waiti and Waita (twins) - to join in and support each other. Urangi - to remind us, a good attitude is always key to success, Will be what comes into view for you. No matter which cloak Matariki wears for you to view, You can be sure Wisdom will be Matariki's gift to you In June, a good time to renew, And give relationships a brighter hue.
