-Dr. Mustafa Kamal
Friends I have near and more, memories fade in distant shore,
From Desh to Bidesh, East and West, I can’t count anymore.
Many from School, some from College and more,
A lifelong friendship, tied in my heart’s shore.
Mathematics and Statistics in addition to Physics,
I studied, vaguely dreamed of becoming classics.
Made many friends, now closely remember a few,
Intelligent and young I was, thought glory was my due.
Bright and modest they said, kind and gentle, and so many more,
Friends swarmed around me, and for sure I had a loving core.
Physics I left, computing I did with passion and greed,
Life is short, and it will soon end, to my Lord, I pay heed.
(Poet: Dr. Mustafa Kamal, Professor Emeritus, Frisco, Texas)
