\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Is it too cold at this time of the Year
\nDo not worry; the winter season is all but over<\/p>\n

This is the day of Full Moon
\nThis is the day of the Indian festival\u00a0Holi<\/em>
\nWe have waited for this Day for a year
\nCan\u2019t we wait\u00a0a little bit longer<\/p>\n

How do we celebrate this Day
\nWe play with water and colours
\nThe colours come from various flowers<\/p>\n

The water will not feel too cold
\nBut it will add to the fun
\nWhen we pour a bucketful on you
\nAnd you will try to run<\/p>\n

But where will you run
\nThere are buckets of water everywhere
\nSo don\u2019t go here and there
\nForget your worries and enjoy the fun<\/p>\n

I send you my greetings for a\u00a0happy\u00a0Holi Day<\/em>
\nCannot send you any bucket of water from here
\nBut flowers will add to the festivities
\nAnd give you happiness, fun and cheer<\/p>\n
