New Year Festival Of Sri Lanka Poem by Chaminda Pushpadewa

Tree leaves have been shaken with a new feature
Sunbeam drops to the Island it becomes hot than past
Sinhalese work asbusy bees
The culture of Buddhist is shinning world over

Offered new rice to the Lord of the Buddhist as well as divine
The store of corn will be filled with new year session
Visiting either friends or families with a lot of gifts
every street shops will busy with a lot of customers

Declaring as a public holiday for Sinhalese
Turnning face with a smile and joy
Wearing new cloth for a meeting celebrating together
Growing is in favor of the culture

cooking milk rice which will be memorized as the happiestmeal for the family
Respecting elders because they are our culture
Shouting cuckoo it messaged the appreciate our heritage
Deposit mercy, kindness as well as a determination of prosperity
