The Waimea Gathering - Paperback

by Mahealani Shellabarger (Author)

The Waimea Gathering They met in a beautiful Waimea Home After forty five years from where they'd roam: Six girls who attended a special school At Kamehameha where they learned the golden rule To do unto others and serve them well; Some would excel and others fell, But they each carried Pauahi's creed; Eventually they'd all succeed To become the women they aspired to be And live their lives in harmony. Six lovely valleys were their homes in Hawai'i From 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 Valley Keala, with warmth from Waipi'o, she'd rally. And so, to a gathering in Waimea, they came To relate their stories of failure and fame.
