March 21st, the new year begins.
Flowers bloom — they shine bright,
Birds sing — they are joyful,
Bees buzz — they are busy.
We join together to pray,
eat, celebrate, and dance.
Navroz Mubarak
May your year be
filled with love,
joy, good health,
and prosperity.
Shukar for the
past years —
giving us faith
and keeping
us safe.
As the new year begins,
we gather,
we celebrate,
we help one another.
Music floats through the room
lifting spirits,
prompting smiles,
bringing joy.
The smell of biryani
wafts towards the crowd.
Hungry people hurry forward
dodging small children
sprinting quickly towards the food.
