Happy Deepavali. Make a Change
Deepavali is an opportunity
Every year this day change occurs
Light dispels life’s darkness
Washing off sins with an oil bath
Rejuvenated we start the day
Seeking blessings of God, elders
A sumptuous meal awaits us
Opening our heart’s and homes
To relatives, friends joyously
We celebrate our lighted path
In goodwilI, change we cherish
R. Sittamparam
