This poem has now been made into a public sculpture in English and Te Reo

 

The new day awaits

its smile as wide as the sun's rays

broadening over the land

to bring light to our journeys

wherever we go

E rere kau ana i te whēnua

Hei whakamura i te ara o a tātou haerenga

Ahakoa ki whea e haere ana
