In 1981 Jody (middle name Huia) and I bought a lot in the Royal Gardens Subdivision near the Kalapana section of the Volcano National Park. In 1982 the Puʻu ʻOʻO eruption of Kilauea occurred sending lava flows into Royal Gardens Subdivision.  Two ʻaʻa lava flows covered our lot.  But we were able to find our lot because the lava left one of our boundary makers visible on the subdivision road.   Based on this we were able to locate our lot.  We built a small shack on a cinder hill on our lot which afforded a magnificent view of the coastline.  We named this place Kīlea which means small but prominent hill. This is the first song I ever wrote. The version (which is below- below )was my first attempt to use the Hawaiian Language. Of which I do not speak. This second version(directly below) is my attempt to correct the Hawaiian Language I really messed up in the first attempt. This second version I hope is a little better but I am sure is still need work..  My grandsons Kālaʻe and Loea (5 and 4 years old) are presently in Hawaiian immersion preschool and elementary school.  It is my dream that they will be able to fix this.
