Diwali is here Lights and colour everywhere A boom and a bang gifts and joys to share Little girls and little boys Dancing around with joy Watching them from a distance Was the little shoe shine boy With his grubby hands and tattered wear Black lined face and ***** hair All he wanted was a little toy But who would share with a poor shoe shine boy His mother sewed clothes Father, he had none His house was a hovel Clothes he had but one His stomach growled Hunger gnawing at the pit looked at the rich people eating And Shuffled his feet The car door opened He was called aloud His heart froze and trembled Wer they to shout? They gave a 20 rupee note smiled and said "No shoe to shine". The lil boy stared and thought "Is this a dream of mine?" So with his bag, brush and ***** rag Leapt the lil boy high in the air His happiness knew no bounds He had his joy to share Ran to his home, to the little tattered hut Forgetting about hunger and toy He walked in a rich man That happy little shoe shine boy!

Diwali for All!
Diwali is here Lights and colour everywhere A boom and a bang gifts and joys to share Little girls and little boys Dancing around with joy Watching them from a distance Was the little shoe shine boy With his grubby hands and tattered wear Black lined face and ***** hair All he wanted was a little toy But who would share with a poor shoe shine boy His mother sewed clothes Father, he had none His house was a hovel Clothes he had but one His stomach growled Hunger gnawing at the pit looked at the rich people eating And Shuffled his feet The car door opened He was called aloud His heart froze and trembled Wer they to shout? They gave a 20 rupee note smiled and said "No shoe to shine". The lil boy stared and thought "Is this a dream of mine?" So with his bag, brush and ***** rag Leapt the lil boy high in the air His happiness knew no bounds He had his joy to share Ran to his home, to the little tattered hut Forgetting about hunger and toy He walked in a rich man That happy little shoe shine boy!
