A Tribute to a Guiding Star

A guiding star, a beacon bright,

Your wisdom shone, a radiant light.

A leader's heart, a philanthropist's soul so pure and bold,

Your legacy will forever unfold.

Your integrity and compassion, a steadfast guide,

Your truth, a torch, far and wide.

Inspired by you and Prof. Clay,

I joined the fray, to follow the noble way.

My father admired the Tata way,

A legacy of ethics on display.

A friend and a mentor of mine, true to this creed,

Follow these values in every deed.

Your loss feels personal, though we have never met,

Your wisdom's impact, I will not forget.

A source of truth, a pillar strong,

Your spirit lives, where you belong.

Farewells are painful, few lines can do,

Not just for humans, but for your pet friends too.

Their wagging tails and joyful barks,?

a testament to your loving marks.

Your memory, a cherished grace,

A shining light in time and space.

Forevermore, your name will gleam,

A beacon bright, a guiding dream.

A leader who championed what's right and true,

Inspiring the group in all they would do.

A tribute after a week, a heartfelt plea,

To honor you, eternally.

As I will bid adieu to this great group soon,?

A heartfelt thanks to you, Sir, forever true, a loyal tune.

You have left so many lessons for future generations,

A beacon of hope, for all nations.

We will carry on your torch, with pride and grace,?

Forever grateful for your guiding place.?

We honor you now, and evermore,

Your principles, we will always adore.

Your values instilled, in every soul,

Tata and Beyond, Integrity our unwavering goal.

Rest in Peace, Ratan Tata !!?
