Ngā mihi o te Rā Whaea
E kī ana ahau i te whakawhetai i a au e whakarite ana ki te whakanui i te Rā o ngā Whaea me ō mātou kiritaki nui. He wā motuhake tēnei hei whakahonore me te maioha ki ngā wāhine whakamiharo i hanga i ō tātou oranga me ō rātou aroha me te ārahi. Ngā mihi o te Rā o ngā Whaea ki ngā whaea whakamiharo katoa! Kei te harikoa mātou ki te tuku i ngā momo koha whakaaro nui hei whakanui ake i tēnei rā mō ngā wāhine e tino whai tikanga ana ki a mātou.
Kua ata whiriwhiria ā mātou kohinga koha mō te Rā o ngā Whaea kia ātaahua ai ia taonga, kia whai tikanga ai hoki. Mai i ngā whakapaipai huatau ki ngā taonga whakamaumahara whaiaro, he mea kei a mātou hei taonga mā ngā whaea katoa. I a mātou e whakanui ana i te aroha me ngā patunga tapu o ngā whaea i ngā wāhi katoa, e hiahia ana mātou ki te whakapuaki i tō mātou mihi nui ki tā rātou mahi i roto i ō mātou oranga. Ehara i te mea he mihi noa te Rā o ngā Whaea, engari he whakapuakitanga pono o te whakawhetai mō te aroha kore whakaaro me te tautoko pumau e tukuna ana e ngā whaea.
