And God said “Let there be light” And there was light To conquer the darkness So too at Diwali The little oil lamps Adorning every home Help to keep out the Dark and evil spirits.
The fireworks light Up the night skies A feeling of love And Camaraderie Descends on one and all The “let's celebrate “ Contagion effect is felt Across the country.
Greetings are exchanged And sweets distributed Generously to everyone Both the rich and the poor Experience the joy That comes out of Giving and sharing Even in recession times.
