Wiremu Hoata
You stole my heart
You made me cry
People don’t understand
People don’t know why?
Funny thing is, neither do I
but it’s something you do
that makes me get this feeling inside
I get them butterflies
and my spirit starts to rise
Wiremu Hoata
I gotta crush on you

You gave me this rose
This rose was to remember
that you had gone
but not gone forever
It’s hard these days
Without you around
Sometimes I cry
because my heart’s in pieces
I wish you would come back
I wish you had stayed
but it’s your turn now
to shine under the light
I’m gonna let you go
and know the rose you
gave me resembles life
I love you forever and forever
you’re mine

Look at the rose burning up
a disco inferno beautiful and bright
like the light that fills
the night
Soft petals, as soft as a toilet
paper tissue now it’s becoming
an issue because I don’t
need a toilet paper tissue
And it feels like magic when I’m looking
at the rose I’m not ashamed to
tell the class that the
rose looks like magic

I hear the word LOVE
and I think it’s a way
of showing your true
ability with …
Love and Affection
I hear the word LOVE
and it’s not a great
day I seek …
Love and Affection
I see the word LOVE
and hoping that one
day I’ll see the true meaning of …
Love and Affection
I see the word LOVE
and cry that one time
and tell all my Friends
it’s like committing a
crime with …
Love and Affection
So now that you see
the true meaning of …
Love and Affection
I’m hoping that one
day you’ll Love each
one by showing the
Love and Affection

The sky is blue, the clouds are white
The grass is green, the sun is bright
The two butterflies flying above
In unison, making love
Now Autumn’s here the birds chirp
The sun freezes the earth twins
It’s new beginnings throughout the year
The breeze is cold, it’s finally here
Winter’s next what can I say it rains
It pours, it thunders OK!
I don’t know how to predict the weather
But if I could
It would be Summer forever
Now it’s that time that Spring is near
For surprises, for fun, for newborns to
Appear I love it so much, like blossom
Like bloom. I love it so much I
Wouldn’t change a thing or two

As day by day
Passes away
Times are getting harder
As I’m getting older
The years have passed so fast
Gotta plan for my future and
Forget about my past
As I’m getting older so many things
Have changed
Like the way used to be
Things are getting strange
Used to not worry about
My future and now I don’t know
What to do because as I waste
Away my life not doing any work
In class and now I sit
And think I’d better start doing work
And pass
Before you know it I’ll be leaving
School and be off to bigger
Things, and wanna look back
And thank my teachers ‘cos
They helped me get
Through things, want a life a good
Job and house but I’m not getting
Anywhere, doing
Nothing in class
So I’m going to do more work
At school ‘cos I’m gonna pass
This year and not be a fool

6:30 up and about
Six Weetbix in a plate
Drink of water to wash it down
To the bus we go and wait
Once at school I see my mates
The bell will ring, don’t be late
Into Form for the roll
To see what the day has to unfold
Agriculture, English, Maths too
It always makes me feel blue
Sport and Fitness, Wood is good
I try everything if I could
On the homeward bound
On my bike around the farm
Picking up we had no time to play
That is what my parents say
7:30 tea is served
On the bench with the smooth curve
Meat and vege on the plate
Just watch out if you’re late
Off to bed at half past ten
In the morning we’ll start again

The 24 upon my roll
Come wandering with aimless stroll
No hasty bone within their soul
The Drifting 24
But among them are some who
Have a plan, know what to do
And their effort, know it’s true
The Restless 24
Come after the bell,
Come in and dwell,
But is it in you to tell
This Aimless 24
That where there’s effort there’s also pain
In tasks repeated again and again
“But are there Credits?” a common refrain
The Hopeful 24
Call out for help, when the teacher’s about
But when she’s busy, have no doubt
Effort dwindles, from those who shout
The Searching 24
Are oft bereft of all idea
Yet among them there is fear
That as they wile away the year
The Lost 24
With vacant looks upon their face
Getting left, out of the race
The tired cannot stand the pace
The Tiring 24
Will come and go, no Credits gained
Tired faces, lined and strained
The attitude too long ingrained
The Fading 24
But I have hope, I have a scheme
We can do it … As a Team
With open minds, we’ll reach our Dream of
The Immortal Twenty Four …

The old ginger cat sat on the fluffy cushion
licking its life away
Purring its content as it watches the
World go by
Grinding its claws into the soft woolly bed
Playing with wool in a sudden frenzy
Jumping and bouncing across the room
Roly Poly inside cat
until there is wool all about
She sneaks and crawls along the wall
Watch out bird you’re in her sights
Stalking, twisting watch my tail
if she’s lucky she will not fail
Back on the cushion she will lay
Dreaming of what she did for the day
Time for sleep too tired to play
The Old ginger cat sat on the fluffy cushion
