A Special Gift
Gesture of love
A wonderful day, An extraordinary feeling, For it is a special moment.
The walls are adorned with flowers, An environment of hope and love prevails, With lamps and lights that shine and twinkle.
My granddaughter’s hug, A relationship of love, Is my Diwali gift.
(This poem is written to thank my granddaughter for her love towards me. She made my day when she decorated the house with flowers, lamps and lights, and other beautiful artefacts. She did not forget me. She gave me a very special and spontaneous hug and made me feel cared for at the Diwali festival of the Indians. I consider this as a very special gift that I received today.
This is one of the most celebrated festivals in India. There are much merriment and days of preparation for the special day. Gifts and pleasantries are exchanged between friends. Due to Covid 19, it is subdued this year)
