Let The Light Shine

Colors everywhere-

The design of a Rangoli,

The shades of a Kite;

The vibrance of Holi colors,

The echoes of the Dhol;

The glowing warmth of a Diya,

The mesmerizing glitter of a Sparkler;

Sweets, savories, gifts, friends and relatives

Homes nurturing cultures,

Building the future generations;

A prayer to thank the God,

A word in his ear to bless the land;

Where else do we find

The abundance of joy and delight?

Let the world say a million things,

Let the crowd follow a popular trend;

What are those to you, I ask

When the heart yearns,

To experience,

The divinity of your heritage.
