Tuesday Poem

Posted on February 28, 2011 by rsullivan

Kia ora taatou. This Tuesday Poem posting is really to support/tautoko the wonderful people of Christchurch and the Canterbury region. I feel that all words are eclipsed by the terrible earthquake there. Those who have found it within themselves to help everyone to move forward through their practical and financial support for those who have lost loved ones, or who are wounded, or have lost homes, have strength and love and those bonds are true poetry. Kia ora and kia ora again, we’re thinking of you.
