With years as first in her class
She knew the fears
That if you ask too much of it
Metal shrieks, tears.
Falls apart in pieces,
A technical fact to her,
All the world to us
Fire consumes a nation' heart
This karnal girl sought the skies
Space shuttles whispered in her ear
And she answered head to feet
We keep her smile in that last video
Like seneca, she thought
"The whole universe is my native land."
Now more than ever, dear one we weep.
