DIWALI WISH
Wish of Bharat P. Bedi
Wish this Diwali, and
every other festival in
future, come let us
celebrate like yore,
with extended family,
relatives friends neighbors,
bonding was for sure,
happiness of festivities
would swallow, as a
moral duty, sorrow pain
of a disturbed troubled family,
caring for each other’s worries,
covering each other’s woes,
humanity was in the core,
all coming together,
to celebrate as one;
Wish this Diwali,
we celebrate like yore,
colorful rangoli designs,
decoration near front door,
old n young sitting together,
preparing festive special treats,
fragrance wafting out, tingling
tastebuds of neighborhood,
of sweet & namkeen savories,
coming their way;
Wish this Diwali,
we celebrate like yore,
wearing new clothes,
visiting friend’s families,
would fill us with joy,
loading us to the gills,
with sweet namkeens drinks,
wishing one and all,
Happy Diwali Happy Diwali;
Wish this Diwali,
we celebrate like yore,
not to be blinded by glare
of vulgar pomp and show,
we had limited resources,
we had limited choices,
our sparkle glitter glow
was of camaraderie
love peace n harmony,
crackle of unbridled
glee joy n happiness,
added brightness to diyas;
Wish this Diwali,
we celebrate like yore,
burst darkness of hatred
with light of humanity,
wishing everybody,
one and all, a long life
full of good health,
love peace harmony
full of prosperity, and
you always be surrounded
by the love of your loved ones.
HAPPY DIPAVALI,
PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR,
