Ka Leimomi


by Kuana Torres Kahele


`Auhea wale ana `oe
E ka pua nani a`o Kīpā
Ku`u pua lei `ano lani
He nani e makahehi ai


He pua lē`ī `oe, e ke hoa
Me ka lau hunehune laumāewaewa
`A`ole o kana mai kou u`i
E ke ālohaloha ē


Alia a`e `oe, e ku`u makamaka
E nanea, e walea ana
I ka hone mai a ka manu Palila
I ka hale `o Ke`ala Beauty


He pua lē`ī `oe, e ke hoa
Me ka lau hunehune laumāewaewa
Ha`ina ka puana me ka ha`aheo
No ka pua Leimomi ē
