    Me
    one day with babies,
    Kids
    I hope will love Kaua'i
    As we were raised to
    Telling them Waipouli once
    had
    Clear dark fresh waters
    Flowing clean to the sea
    And places you
    could see
    The mountains
    And the ocean
    Even both at the same time.
    I
    hope they can
    touch ground that might
    still hold a fish hook.
    We will
    oli
    And remember Hi'iaka.

    Kaua'i,
    Hemolele i ka Malie
