Sharing A Poem That Means So Much To Me....
I would love to share a poem that means so much to me and has a lot of meaning for me as well. I hope that it touches your heart,soul,and mind and gives you encouragement as well.
"If" By: Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs' and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good or talk too wise.
If you can dream and not make dreams your master;
If you can think and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bare to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop to build them up with worn out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings;
And risk it on one turn of pitch and toss,
Ans lose and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart,nerve,and sinew
To serve their turn long after they are gone
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the will which says to them "Hold On!"
If you can talk to crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings, nor lose the the common touch,
If neither foes not loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance run,
Yours is the earth, and everything that is in it,
And which is more, you'll be a man, my son!
This poem has been another poem in my life that has given encouragement to me during the hard times and even in the good times too. This poem shows that anyone can endure and get back up on their feet when things don't look so great. Be encouraged throughout the holiday season and all year long!
Peace,
