Hau‘oli Lā Hānau Uncle

To the one who sounds the pū and lays down the foundational prayers
To the one who grounds the space with one palm to the land
To the one who teaches us patience and birds eye view understanding
To the one who guides us back to alignment every time we need it
To the one who carries us and our household when we are called to the frontlines
To the one who will do everything he possibly can for the mountain we all love
To the one who offers the same compassion and reverence for the land that he does for all beings
The the one who loves and respects my mother like she deserves to be
To the one who gave me a sister that I love across all times and realms
To the one who loves me like his own
To the one who I have always felt protected by
To the one who embodies aloha and pono with the gentlest heart I have ever known
