Tae's Song - Walk On Walk Strong..here it is again for those who have been asking for the lyrics

Tae wrote this song  and it reflects her journey - the tune came from the 4-5 chords she learned on her guitar and the words are very much assuranceto all who are going through a tough time - you will get through it... walk on, walk strong.

For the storm won't last too long,
Walk on, Walk Strong
When everything seems wrong,
Hold on,Walk On

Thru the fear and thru the fire
You'll find the way out,
Thru the pain and misconceptions,
Thru the sorrow and the doubt
When you look beyond your troubles,
Then you'll figure it out
You will find...

That the storm won't last too long
Walk on, Walk strong
When everything seems wrong,
Hold on,Walk On...

She's crying in the corner,
The work's never done,
I'm tryin to explain to her that the victory has been won

Don't Be Afraid
There's Peace Beyond the rain
I know...it'll be okay...

The pain never lasts
It's now  in the past
Hold on. walk on.

Chorus : For THIS storm won't last too long... etc

The girls Mia and Joy are enjoying their school. Mia just finished her big project for the year on Climate Change. She had 8 weeks to do research, writing up reports, making her art components etc and finally had their art Exhibition night last Monday and she did really well. She was happy to have her grandma here for the opening night and to hear her sing "We are the World" with her two FIjian friends, Samisoni and Elena. Little sister Joy has also started her piano class last Wednesday and we now have to keep telling her to turn down the volume of her keyboard as she loves to sing and play at the same time. .. imagine her on the keyboard.. she thinks she knows it all!

For Tae's dreams on the resource room for kids in Tonga and now in Fiji... we are still working on it. The funds that was raised during the walk in Tonga will go to the resource room for kids in Tonga. The funds raised in Fiji,  stays here to help with a room for the cancer kids and their family  in this country and we have been discussed this with the Fiji Cancer Society.

There are lots of work to be done... to be able to fulfill all Tae's dreams but we have no doubt that We Can make it... it might take weeks, months, or years for big projects but we must have faith and keep walking on and walking strong!
