Kawe Reo

Steps to the Central Library
Auckland


Kawe Reo/Voices Carry

Voice carries us
From the the foot of Rangipuke/Sky Hill
Albert Park to the Wai Horotiu stream chuckling down Queen Street
Carrying a Hii-Haa-Hii story 
From prams and seats with names and rhymes, from books and kitchen tables.
Now we laugh again in St James stalls, in the bookstores, Seddon Tech,
Patterson's stables, Odd Fellows Hall, Art Galleries
And our great Library gifted by our people who saved the words of our ancestors for one and all...
