An ode to Lata Mangeshkar

Lata's ji mellifluous voice has stilled,

But her songs will be etched in our memory,

Songs of pathos, of happiness,  that filled!

Our hearts, with melodies of  her glory.

 At a very young age, Lata ji

 began her journey,

 A journey of singing that  was her destiny,

 And music was never the  same,

 Every song Lata ji sang was  imprinted with her name.

 Each and every one of her  song,

 To all of us does belong,

 Lata ji we know that wherever  you are,

 from us you are never very  far,

 For death cannot take you  away,

 For we will remember you, in  your songs every day,

 Lata ji will always remain a  part of our mind,

 With the melodies she left  behind.
