Durga Puja Is A Special Time

This is the special time of the year,
Which helps me to get closer and near.

Its a special time which adds a glee,
To let you know what you mean to me.

The joy in your heart
Brightens my world
And the confidence in your attitude inspires me more.

Thank you for being there.
Sending warm wishes on this Durga Puja!
