Prayer

Oh God,

I can see your creation's through the image of the koru.
I can feel your love through the waves splashing on me. 
I can smell your presence through the blooming of the koru.
I can hear you talk when the koru rustles in the wind. 
I can taste your love from the dew that falls off the leaf of the koru.
We will always be connected like how the koru changes but is still connected. 

Thank you lord for your beautiful creations. For the ocean that we swim in. For the animals on earth that help us live and for the land we live on.

It was 12:00 in the morning, the moon shone brightly in the misty night sky. The night was quiet and all that I could hear was the noise of the wind. Suddenly I heard a whisper saying “Nita wake up, Nita come on get up sleepyhead.” I opened my eyes slowly. Right in front of me was my mother well dressed as if she was at a cool party. “What is it?” “ Dylan's back and he’s outside” At once I got out of bed and quickly dressed, without a word I ZOOMED out of the room and out to the fresh air. 

Creepy” I thought to myself. All of a sudden I saw a face hiding in the shadows. I wanted to RUN away but my feet were glued to the ground. “Nita” I heard the shadow say. Oh, how frightened I was! As soon as I heard the voice, I realized it was   DYLAN! After a while Dark Vader came out of the darkness and showed a face that looked familiar to me.
We stared at each other for awhile. Then out came my mum. “ Get into the car” So we all went in the car and drove away ( we left Stella and my dad at home ) We  were nearly there and I was so anxious for a cookie so I said “Mum can I have a cookie, please.” And of course she said no. We finally arrived. I rushed up the steps and knocked on the door. I waited a while when suddenly the door opened with a rush of wind. We all stepped in with tired looks on our faces. I happily lay down for a rest. I could hear my mum and grandma talking. Then I heard a screech of wheels it sounded like a cat’s claws on a blackboard. I ran to see if everything was OK,  but it was just my papa coming in to say hi. Finally my mum came to the room and told me we were going. As we got into the car I felt the wind gently breathing in my face.  We were nearly home, I couldn't wait to go back to sleep and start dreaming again.
