Abdul Kalam Acrostic

Among thousands of Indians, he rose,
born in Rameshwaram, a tiny village of the south..
Dreamt of changing the world
using wit and reason - 
learning and teaching he spent his life.

Kindness and selflessness he valued,
and wanted to spend his last breath teaching -
loyal to his words, he did,
and is all that Indians think of, now ~
May he rest in peace.
