The Waimea GatheringThey met in a beautiful Waimea HomeAfter forty five years from where they’d roam:Six girls who attended a special schoolAt Kamehameha where they learned the golden ruleTo do unto others and serve them well;Some would excel and others fell,But they each carried Pauahi’s creed;Eventually they’d all succeedTo become the women they aspired to beAnd live their lives in harmony. Six lovely valleys were their homes in Hawai’iFrom O’ahu, Maui, the Big Island to Kaua’i:Puakea from Palolo, who used her fists,Kanoe, the serene from Kahana’s mists, Kalihiwai’s Nani, vivacious and fun,Lihau, homely in Ha’iku’s sun,Kia, a thorn from Makaha ValleyKeala, with warmth from Waipi’o, she’d rally.And so, to a gathering in Waimea, they cameTo relate their stories of failure and fame.
