Where Are the Stars This Christmas

My street without the stars:

I miss those stars of different colors
The aroma of baking around
The perfume of church going folks
Who walk in silk saris and gowns

The suit and tie in place
With shining shoes along
Little children aping the adult
Following in suits and small little ties
The pretty girls with their rustling skirts
And jeans and tops too
The street used to be filled 
With these folks around

Now not a single star anywhere 
No folks to wish merry christmas
Where are you my friends? 
I wish you from here
Pray for your happiness 
May god bless you the year around….sunkan
