Diwali

Today is the Feast of Light;
Day of Joy for the mind, heart and soul;

And people come to the temples to offer
prayers, choosing to play the best roles.
And most of them are richly dressed and clean,
And eat such delicious dishes and sweets with pleasure;
While the noisy biscuits burst, their lights are visible,
It seems to be a happy day on earth!
But aren’t his hearts full of sadness?
Refusing to laugh, smiling for days on end;
Today is the triumph of good over evil;
But what about waste in many ways?
The real joy is when you see someone laughing!
True charity brings joy the Hevinley way.
