I do not mourn today, I do not shed a tear,
For her voice will live on forever in melancholy or cheer.
What she possessed was not just a gift of music but a healing to a million souls,
She could stir emotions, every reverberation is etched in heavenly scrolls.
No one has touched so many lives and pushed us through every endeavour,
She lives on, for she will continue to enlighten and enliven, for now and forever.
