My love towards Paka
Is as strong as Nanny’s Muriwai blood
I wish I was a boy
Then Paka and katoa would love and respect me
If I were a boy
I could become
Part of the Hokowhitu
Paka and katoa would love and respect me
I could do the haka
With the men
Yelling for war
Paka and katoa would love and respect me
I will be like the kiwi
And not like the moa
I will be strong
I will stand my grounds
Paka and katoa will love and respect me
Me
My Maori culture is imortant to me.

Wow! I love the use of the poem in here. You have a great voice writing from the character's point of view.
