“The Deity that Cares”
Theme Song "Linkin Park – One More Light"
If you’ve ever lost someone you cared about,
A father, a mother, a wife or husband, a child or a friend,
Atawhai is with you.
If the loss was sudden, and the pain is fresh,
A tight knot in your throat, tears pushing to burst from your eyes,
Atawhai is with you.
If the loss was foreseen, expected even,
And the pain has turned into a dull throbbing heartache, a numbness that comes with memories that should give joy but for the moment only hurt,
Atawhai is with you.
In your darkest hours, those just before dawn, when the darkness is at its strongest,
When it feels like there is no hope, no way out, no reason to go on,
Atawhai is with you.
A hand on your shoulder,
A warm and caring embrace,
A listening ear,
A shoulder to lean on.
A warm voice telling you to remember,
The good days with joyous memories,
The laughter and joy,
The beauty that was shared.
Don’t give up, don’t give in,
Tomorrow, a new sun will rise,
You will find hope, love and beauty,
Both outside and within
Atawhai is with you.
The name comes from Maori and means ‘love, mercy; one who is a compassionate individual’.
