HAPPY DIWALI



The lamps were lit,
And Lanterns were set high.
Whoosh! Went the rockets,
Sailing towards the sky.

Fused into colours,
The rangolis were born.
They slept near the door way,
Wishing and greeting everyone.

The pure aroma of sweets,
Gushed into my nose.
Yeah! I had stomach aches,
But blames were put on those.

The house was decorated,
Atmosphere was enchanted.
Windows were lighted,
Cause holidays were granted.

Mud became our friend,
Cause fort was to be made.
Maharaj still rules our heart,
His valour would never fade.

Those silent peaceful nights,
Were missing everywhere.
Cause over enthusiastic fire crackers,
Were present over there.

The rich, the poor,
The old and the young.
All came together,
And songs were what we sung.

Everything was new,
From head to toes.
Goddess was welcomed,
And spiritual thoughts arose.

So friends, family and everyone
Make yourself jolly.
Wish you a very happy
And prosperous DIWALI
