For Iman

Iman is a steadfast one-woman show,
With all the beautiful bells and whistles.

In her resides a guiding light for hungry learners,
Instilling in them a love for the language
Nourishing in them a confidence to be heard.

As the luscious golden orb begins to set,
She reposes with her beloved and four younglings,
Amidst the murmurs of the waves.

In the moonlight, she dreams up content
Weaving words with a silver intent.

Iman gracefully embodies her name
Doing it all faithfully, fervently;
At times floundering, faltering,
But never without love - always with love.

Greek goddess Hera holds no candle to Iman.
