I think that the song is about her baby.
Based on the phrase 「拝啓 わたしの小さくて 永遠に世界一の天使へ」which roughly translated to "Dear Sir, To My Little and Forever Angel in the World"

But since she mentioned about Ohia Lehua (a Hawaiian legend about a lover) in the end, it could have two meanings, about meeting an important person in her life (a lover who give her the baby), or literally about her newborn baby.

The legend of the Ohia tree and the Lehua blossom

The legend says that one day Pele met a handsome warrior named Ohia and she asked him to marry her. Ohia, however, had already pledged his love to Lehua. Pele was furious when Ohia turned down her marriage proposal, so she turned Ohia into a twisted tree.

Lehua was heartbroken, of course. The gods took pity on Lehua and decided it was an injustice to have Ohia and Lehua separated. They thus turned Lehua into a flower on the Ohia tree so that the two lovers would be forever joined together.

So remember, Hawaiian folklore says that if you pluck this flower you are separating the lovers, and that day it will rain.
