Best Iger Poems

Are winners defined by prowess
In business or in sport
Or by intellectual power 
Backed by academic report?

Is losing determined 
By lack of financial wealth
In lieu of big-hearted happiness
Or optimum good health?

Why do moguls and titans
With no Faith take the leap
While penniless paupers
Leap for joy from their...

Saw us come, watched us grow
Will witness the day we must go...on
Saw us through the wounds we beared
Shared the tears we shed
For all we cared...
Lent us smiles that warmed our hearts
Never asked to be repaid
Like Mother's love 
Gives and gives...
Nurtures all we are
Like Father's foresight
Knows...

It is a fallacy to imagine
I could know your pain
The depth of loss for one we love
And who's loved us
Could never be transposed.

But I do understand...

Your loss is very great
And very distressing
I offer all the sympathy..
Empathy...support...
I can summon.

I'm hear to give... 

Comfort and companionship
Through these...

Grant us each others love

'Til my prayers for peace 
Are fulfilled

To the downtrodden 
Lord impart justice

Beloved Jehovah!
We must embrace 
For the sake of our children

Mighty Allah!
Hate is...

You were there for me...

After the birth of my child
When I needed time
To marvel, and rest, and adjust.

I appreciated the flowers, 
And condolences...
On the passing of my parent.

And the patience and empathy
You expressed after the funeral... 
For my car.

When I missed time
Due to fever and...

Strangers meet, merge their lives
Shadows fade...
Time revives the highs of life

Dreams renew, nightmares die
Two hearts may find that life provides...
A refuge from their strife

Old wounds heal, when life reveals
What kindred spirits share

Tears dry up, smiles from frowns
Happiness from despair

We find that all life's maladies
Were there...

Let’s celebrate!
Let’s get together soon
Maybe today
And have a toast
For all we’ve achieved
To this point in our lives
Recent headlines remind me
How much I have to be proud of
And grateful for
Very much including you.
The face time we share…
And the face I saw smiling back
In the mirror this...

Twenty score years ago, and some
The evil merchants crossed the waves
Gleeful as they raped and pillaged
Their cargoes of dark-skinned slaves

En route to the land of Liberty
Where all men are created equal
In their most frightening and wildest nightmares
They could never have envisioned the sequel

After four centuries...

It's hard to imagine
There was ever a time
When we were strangers

Friends?
Not for two spirits who share 
The affinity, admiration and respect
That we share 

Brotherhood!
That's what defines us
Whether it's giving love through tough times
Or giving tough love

A shoulder to lean on
Or shouldering the weight 
When the...

The day has arrived for me to share, with all who have gathered here, 
what  has flowered in my heart since God brought her into my life.
      
The sweetness of my love is in full bloom this day and...

As twilight approached I felt her loosening embrace
After a night filled with cuddling her shadowy face

My heart beat with passion as I bathed in her charms
Her elusive caress not quite real in my arms

I thought I heard her whisper as I longed for her lips
It...

GOLDEN OpportUNITY
KEY TO CommUNITY

Unlocks hearts and minds 
To the beauty of UNITY

Where hate is dead 
Love lives for eternity

And the cloud's silver lining
Beholds a GOLDEN OpportUNITY...

For UNITY.

GOLDEN OpportUNITY...

Where all religions are respected 
Intolerance, injustice, soundly rejected

GOLDEN OpportUNITY... 

Where all cultures are embraced
Where there's a place...

How could I know otherwise 
The beauty of a woman I’ve never seen 
Whose mortality had been claimed by the Reaper
But through the teary eyes of my brother 
Who loved her…

Loves her still
What an amazing blessing 
When death cannot extinguish
The glow of love
When life finds...

Now that I've got your attention
Here's what I really intend to mention

One of the most vital resources to uplift our nation
Has been warehoused and stored in suspended animation

The wise men and woman who constitute our brain trust
Have been put out to pasture to collect dust,...

What mind enlightened of God
Could reconcile a forsaken entrustment...
To guardian the yet unborn?

What eye that sees by Light
Could blind itself this darkest deed?

What hand that prays and gropes in want
Could withhold the need of life to live?

What heart that beats the pulse of life
Could be...
