The missing missile man

-Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

In the dark of the night

Your skill made our nation so bright

Simple and gentle your path was, so

Straight

Your inventions, even made the crutches so light

As a scientist, you made missiles scream

As a teacher, you made the students dream

As a first citizen, you were gentle as a stream

Your lessons and visions are supreme.

We miss you, missile man.
