Neerja

A brave soul who sacrificed,

Her youth, career and life.

An embodiment of love and kindness, 

Her selfless and courageous attitude.

For you, a trivial flight attendant.

But for many, bold and fearless dame.

We honour your parents, 

For the strength to be proud.

Though their loss, an unending grief,

They stood by you throughout.

Yet, it's a pain;

A pain of emptiness from your departure.

Your service is marked in the history,

An inspiration towards humanity.

Your worthy citations

Will keep the emerging spirits high.

You are immortalized,

By myriad salutes and gratitude.

P.S. In honour and memory of Ms. Neerja Bhanot.
