Chalkboard Dream

Poet's Note

Dr. Abdus Salam (1926-1996) was born in Jhang, Pakistan. He became the *first Pakistani and first Muslim to win the Nobel Prize in Science* in 1979. With hope and resilience, he showed the world that greatness can rise from humble beginnings.

        Chalkboard Dream

Abdus Salam dreamed on a chalkboard  
Dust and cracked shoes reached the sky  
Storms of doubt, no hand to guide  
Still he earned Nobel pride  
For Pakistan, for Muslim light  
Hope and resilience never die
