Missing Holi

 Colors fly, people cheer,

Laughter rings, everyone's spirit is high. 

Friends are playing,

But I sit with books and me. 

Water splashes, bright and loud,

Music plays and everyone's happy. 

Though I am missing all the fun, I must study, I can't run,

Exams are here. 

One day soon, when work is done,

I will join the dance and fun. 

Holi will come again next year, and I will play for sure. 

For now, I learn and let it be, dreaming of colors waiting for me.
