Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

 

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

Born in Rameswaram, by the ocean's embrace,
A humble boy with dreams to chase,
With books as his wings, he learned to soar,
Through skies of knowledge, he yearned for more,
A curious mind with a spark divine,
He turned his life into a guiding sign.

As a scientist, he lit the nation's fire,
Rocketing India’s dreams ever higher,
From SLV to Agni, he paved the way,
For a future bright, like the break of day,
In space and defense, he carved his name,
A visionary's journey to eternal fame.

In Rashtrapati Bhavan, his heart remained,
With the common people, his love unchained,
The “Missile Man” turned a guiding star,
Teaching values that reach afar,
With words of wisdom, he nurtured youth,
Inspiring them with hope and truth.

He carried no riches, sought no throne,
Yet touched every life as if his own,
A simple soul, yet a giant in deed,
Planting in hearts the knowledge seed,
Through his books, his voice still sings,
Of dreams and courage, and infinite wings.

When he left, the heavens did cry,
For their beloved son had returned to the sky,
Yet on Earth, his spirit remains,
In every mind that breaks its chains,
Dr. Kalam, a beacon so bright,
A guiding flame in the darkest night.
