ArchiveKisaka When a man receives presents from another, he may sing this song, remembering that all things come through the power of Tirawa, and asking of the Father, while giving thanks, a renewal of his gifts-long life, good health, and plenty in the fields. The man who receives prays for a blessing on the man who gives. Thus thanks the giver. Well is it to give to the poor and to the helpless, for they are heeded of the Father. Their prayers will be heard, and more surely than those of all others will their blessings be fulfilled upon the giver. Worth more than all the prayers of the prosperous and strong are the thankful prayers of the feeble, the aged, and the poor.
