Yellow and Orange Marigolds

I have always liked

The yellow and orange marigold

More than the red roses

Because of the memories they hold.

I have always liked,

The assymetrical rangoli,

More than the perfect one

Because it told a story.

I have always liked,

The simple homemade sweets,

More than the exotic desserts,

Because they taste of love.

I have always liked festivals,

More than any ceremony,

Not for its devotion,

Because that's when family becomes one.
