Pradnya Surve
A childhood brimming with happiness
Kin and clan so dear
Hustle bustle tells me
Festival of lights is near
Housekeeping at its peak
Savory and sweet aroma
Air of festivity
Joyous activity
Sunrise heralds the day of light
A scented shower to look bright
Mother lights the lamp
Vermillion adorns our temple
Hugs and laughter ring
Together family relishing
Columns and strings of light
Illuminate the home ever so bright
Festival of lights
Treasure of memories gleaming
Eyes though with pearls shimmer
A childhood brimming with happiness
Kin and clan so dear

This has stirred up so many childhood memories of Diwali..
Thank you Jaya Ma’am for reading my poem
Festivals do make me nostalgic and stir many fond memories
This is how it used to be
Thank you Sarita Ma’am for reading my expression of childhood memories
In present times the festival feel is not the same. Many things have changed or rather the family and togetherness, sharing all has changed
Diwali nostalgia is deep and reverberating
Well written 💚 💚
Thank you Nitika for reading my poem
Even today I miss my family and extended family on every festival
Diwali those days💚💚
Nostalgic🤩
Thank you Sonali
Festivals do make us nostalgic
