The KoruIn Maori, an unfolding fern is called a Koru, it has become somewhat of a national symbol made popular by the AirNZ logo. Coming up to the sunny Bay of Plenty has lead me to find lots of these out in the wild. Whenever I come across one something is stirred inside me. I feel proud of being a Kiwi and almost want to perform a haka or a waiata.
Pokarekare anaEven better than this is watching Hayley Westenra perform Pokarekare Ana....
Nga wai o waiapu
Whiti atu koe hine
Marino ana e
E hine e
Hoki maira
Kamate au
-i te aroha e
