Onam - The Bountiful Harvest

Amma,

Remember how you planned onam

Even before time

Cleaning the house like a newly brought

Decorating with marigold flower

Polishing all the vilakku like gold

The smell of jasmine lingers everywhere

Amma,

Your kesavu saree

Brought only for onam

Wearing with fine gold jewellery

Jasmine flowers on your hair black

You look like my angel

Amma,

Your onam sadhya-

Making every onam dishes

All by yourself

Feeding every family and friends

Like a Devi

Makes me feel eternal

Amma,

You capturing every moment into your lens

with all the family and friends

Is priceless

It's you who make

Onam such a beautiful memory

Of all the festivals in my life
