News flashed at 9 in the night,
Came as a shock to the world,
The sky lost its daughter,
One who kissed the radiant sky, had dreams to make home.

There she is, leaving us alone,
India along with Karnal cries, prayer chants in the temple of Texas,
So we join in the ceremony too,
“My daughter missed but not with tears”, quips her father.

She went, explored, reached her dream,
Nowhere has anyone hope and touch,
An Indian in every essence, she made us proud,
A role model to emulate.

The debris found, the investigation continued,
But the light won’t come back again,
The torch is out there in the sky,
I cannot do much: but feel proud for you,

We salute thee! Madam Kalpana Chawla.
