Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

You ignited the minds of many,

And gave them the wings of fire,

You reignited the youth to dream,

And inspired them with India 2020,

That’s why you are forever:

The people’s President of India.

Your remarkable life reminds us:

No matter who you are,

No matter how you look,

No matter where you come from,

No matter how rich or poor you are,

If you truly aspire and act,

You can achieve against all odds.

You asked us to have a vision of our own,

To change the lives of millions.

You guided us to have a mission on our own,

To change the world of billions.

You gave us thoughts for change.

Because of you, I want to become a scientist!
