/rom page 22 You have finally joined the ranks of "the faded ones," A chief among chiefs. Our hearts elap with thunder, And our voices cry with pain. The child of The Chief is gone. We moum your leaving, Filled with sorrow at the fact That we shall never speak to your kino again. Kindness and generosity abounding You embodied the graciousness of "those who eame before." Those chiefs imbued with pono, Thus perpetuating the link from one to the other. In your journey to Po, You left behind a legacy of love and passion, Sparked by the confidence, Of knowing who your people were and are. Face to face with "he who has your eyes," Somehow alleviates my aehe. And knowing that life is a eonhnuum, Reassures me that we will meet again. Mai ka po mai o'ia'i'o.
