Here is Diwali again and another year gone by
Time seems to just flash by
Even when winter felt long
The summer has just gone
Getting ready for the family to visit
Love and laughter to be gathered from this visit
Strange that Diwali and Christmas are warm
When winter used to be the norm
Diwali sweet the year replaced by pani puri
The tang of the pani and crunch of the puri
The best snack in warm sunny days
Memories of fun and friends are foremost always
The year has brought the bad with the good
Meeting old and new friends and losing one too
Experimenting with cakes
Chocolate and chilli is all it takes
Visiting new clean sandy and pristine beaches
Cocktails with mangoes, guavas and peaches
Suddenly its back to Diwali and time to reflect
In thankfulness to God we genuflect
For the joy, health and peace felt
May we be with the same pleasure dealt
In this coming year
Just as in the past year
