Topic: Video of my song - Happy Thanksgiving

This is a video link to a song I wrote... it is covered by Jim Cristaldi of Nashville.

https://youtu.be/-h-O4aW_SGQ

I put it together as a gift to my wife and children for this Thanksgiving.

The lyrics and chords are here on chordie somewhere  smile

I hope you don't mind watching the video to hear the music.

Thank you for your kindness!   
You are correct, without my family I am nothing really.

Is that New Zealand language ?  Cool Stuff!
Thanks again Peatle !

Re: Video of my song - Happy Thanksgiving

TIG ... I don't know what to say ... this one is off the charts. Excellent stories about the people you clearly love the most. The good Lord didn't give my wife and I any daughters, but two strapping boys instead. And of all the roles life asks of us, being a husband and a father have been the best.

And here goes the tears of joy again ... thanks, my friend!

Thank you Jim for asking  that question.
Jim it is New Zealand Maori language known as** Te reo ** Maori.  Te is  maori for THE and the word  Reo is language.
Those words would be considerd  Poetical Reo or Maori Proverb or sayings.
Poetical reo is the highest form of reo and based on** tikanga** and a knowledge of history. Many modern speakers of the reo use poetical phrases, but they use them because they sound good, not because they understand the underlying principles of the phrase. 
   ** Tikanga**  is about  customs and traditional values, especially in the context of explaining something that has a good meaning.
Tikanga for you would be you instructing as a teacher values maybe using Latin as a language., Here is an example of using Tikanga  with Latin words,
Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem
“Remember when life’s path is steep to keep your mind even.”
