Festival of Lights

Festival of Lights
10/27/2019

This auspicious occasion
of Festival of Lights, we
joyously call, Deepavali,
celebrations abound,
lamps lit all around,
I make this plea -

If only for a day,
or just for a meal,
lets uplift the hearts
and lighten the load,
of the less fortunate -

Let's bring new clothes, toys,
Savories and sweets,
for a precious smile of hope,
in those anxious young eyes -

And above all, a little humility,
to those that are blessed, and
I pray, continue with their good fortune -

On this auspicious day, we
so joyously celebrate, as Dewali

    I recall celebrating many happy Diwali's with friends when I used to live in the Midlands.. a most joyous and unconditionally generous occasion.. you have just taken me back a few years and can smell the lamps even as I type..... I am glad I visited today Suresh.......

    May Dewali light up all our lives and may that light spread to others in our world.
