- Today's the `Festival of Lights' all o'er;
- A joyful day for minds and hearts and souls;
- And people throng the Temples to offer,
- Prayers, resolving to take better roles.
- And most of them are richly clad and clean,
- And eat such dainty foods and sweets with mirth;
- Whilst noisy crackers burst, their lights are seen,
- It seems to be a happy day on Earth!
- But are there not hearts woe-filled, very sad?
- Denied of laughter, smiles for days;
- Today's the triumph of Good over bad;
- But what about the wastage in much ways?
- True joy is when you see someone else smile!
- True charity gives joy in Heav'nly style.
