My Aloha

You were my aloha

You were the solid rock

I found safety on

You were peace

When I couldn’t stop

You reminded me

To sit down

Eat a snack

And take a damn nap.

Because of you

I grew beyond who I was

I learned to slow down

And appreciate life more

You were a fire

That kindled my spirit

The soil of the earth

That nourished my flower

Nou e kuu aloha

Mahalo

ʻo ʻoe koʻu puʻuwai

Mahalo

Hauʻoli wau e ʻike iā ʻoe

Mahalo

Aloha kāua

Aloha wau iā ʻoe

You are my aloha.

I love you.
