To Honor My Hero
I am, indeed, not a worshiper of heroes,
It's because no beings I consider zeroes;
Yet, thinking of some there, within, rings an alarm,
One such human is A. P. J Abdul Kalam...!
An Air-Space Scientist; India's Missile Man,
Who made me to trust in me; say always: I can;
Loved as Peoples President; by nature humble;
From his stern path of truth never did he tumble...!
Silence he loved; sparkling smile he did always shed,
Utilized challenges as stepping-stones; went ahead;
Inner strength should be shield he said; shine like the sun;
Hardest of hardships in existence never shun...!
Children he loved; Inspired them to ignite their minds;
To no child's question on existence he stayed blind;
Fly like birds of the air he said; do not just crawl;
Be in touch with self; give heed to your inner call...!
His words of realization he truly lived,
His biography says, in life, none he deceived;
He was not handsome; yet he lent his hands to some;
To no threat from any, he never did succumb...!
Awarded with Padma Bhushan and Bharat Ratna,
His dedicated life ended like a drama;
A perfect lecturer; While lecturing he died;
Eternity, within her tide, his soul did hide...!
