There comes a time
when the heart softens
to the road that shaped it
each scar, each sunrise,
a marker of becoming.
She has walked through seasons
of loss and rising,
carried the echoes of stories
woven deep in her skin,
and still, she yearns to explore.
To meet herself
in new places
to remember what freedom feels like
when the horizon opens
and the soul whispers,
there is still more to live for.
Ata mārie whānau
may the day rise to meet you
in the best possible way.
