Deepavali – The Festival Of Lights, 2011 Poem by Dr John Celes

Light the lamps and adorn your home;
The ‘Festival of Lights’ has come;
Make the sweetmeats and food dainty;
Dress in new clothes, looking pretty!

Share the joy with neighbours around;
Light the crackers, making great sound;
Throng the temples, heartily pray;
Good has won o’er evil today.

Let love of men and divine love,
Enrich your mind and heart, soul now;
Spread the light to dispel darkness;
Let life be filled with happiness!

‘HAPPY DEEPAVALI,2011 TO INDIANS GLOBALLY! ’
