A First

Sad and alone,
This year I couldn’t make it home.
I hear the sounds and wish even more,
Just somehow you would knock my door.

Lights galore and a festival,
But my heart is dark and dismal,
So hard, thought it was not,
Just know, I miss you a lot.

Wishing upon every star,
that next time you won’t be far,
An empty room, when you see,
Won’t you but don't you miss me!

We’ll both pray- the same prayer,
A smile on your face is all I care,
Go fill your life with light and glee,
May you have the best Diwali.

Miss you Ma, Pa, Alloo, Di!
Have a bright, colourful, lively, happy and a safe Diwali!

Update: I had a patakha Diwali :) Thanks to all who made it special.
