Happy Diwali!

Happy Diwali, happy Diwali
Let us rejoice in this special occasion
that celebrates the triumph of good over evil
that celebrates the victory of love
over a lack thereof
that celebrates family and friends
that celebrates the good in life
where the loud crackles and bright lights of the firecrackers
drive away the evil
in our lives.
Where we dress in new clothes
and clean our homes.
To welcome the Goddess Lakshmi
in our humble abode
and into our lives
to fill it with wealth
wealth of love
wealth of good
wealth of family.
Let us light the lamp with a flame
a flame that shines bright
within our homes
within our lives
within our souls
Let the light shine bright
for the good that is within us
that we cultivate
and which manifests
as the good in the world.
Let us celebrate Diwali with a smile on our faces
and in our hearts.
Happy Diwali, Happy Diwali.
