Kai in the basket

From the earth

and from the sea
Kai in the basket
for you and for me
Thank you to the one
who made it for me
For caring and sharing
it around ©
 Whakapaingia Ēnei Kai
(to the tune ‘Mary had a little lamb’)

Whakapaingia ēnei kai (bless) (these foods)

Hei ōranga (for sustenance and heath)

mō te tinana (for the body)

mō o matou Wairua hoki (for our spirits too)
