A P J Abdul Kalam- a Tribute

Oh! Mother India, Let the pain of bereavement, with all its might, try not to express itself...... For it will encounter a huge cascading defeat, And it'll over-flow for sure! For the cause of pain is so very deep.... Whole Nation is weeping for the great loss of a noble son of yours! Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam- an invaluable gem in your crown!!! Born in a village called Rameswaram, laced in the lap of your eastern coromandel coast; Poverty and hardships filled his childhood, So he supported his family selling newspapers... He overcame all struggles of life undeterred, With an iron will treading the path of hardwork, Righteousness and sincere effort! Scaled new heights of success and grew up to become an eminent aerospace scientist, A revered professor and a graceful author of several books, igniting the minds of millions! An inspiring soul,a versatile genius A noble teacher for young and old till the end... His life-an epitome of discipline, humility, simplicity! His genius he dedicated, for your defence and designed several missiles Oh mother so he is rightly called 'The missile man of India'! He graced your nation as the eleventh president and touched the lives of millions! Honour of highest civilian award-The Bharat Ratna, an honour well deserved! He ignited a spark in millions of children and youth, A spark to dream, dream and dream....for He believed that dreams would trigger the thoughts and thoughts in turn into actions! He opind that its always easy to defeat someone, but difficult to win someone.... Oh mother, your noble son conquered billion hearts so easily with the charisma of his persona! He stood an indomitable champion of universal brotherhood and global peace!!!!! Salutations to this noble son who has set sail for his heavenly abode....oh mother this great son of your land will reside in all our hearts today and forever! A legend he was while he lived and will be a legend perpetually.... Our loving homage to this enlightened soul!
