MOTHER GODDESS PAPATUANUKU

"Mother - Goddess Papatuanuku,
Sacred Vessel from whom all life flows.
Help us your rainbow children
to listen and venerate you.
Help us to understand.
If we have no Mother to sustain us
we will surely perish.
Then there will be no future for us,
or our Mokopuna.

Oh rainbow children, listen to the cries
of our Sacred Mother.
The poisons of man are deep within her soils.
They enter our bones and blood,
indeed to the very hearts of man.

Dearest Mother Goddess Papatuanuku.
Let us your rainbow children,
learn ways not to harm you.
Let us always love and cherish you,
for you are the Sacred Vessel
from whom all life flows.
And we are all your Rainbow Children.

Robina Adamson.

In NZ Maori language - Papatuanuku is our Mother earth,
Mokopuna are our descendants.
