Thank You Momma For Insisting I Learn This. IF you can keep head, when all about you.. Or losing theirs and blame it all 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 of waiting..or being lied about.. Dont deal in lies.. or being hated.. Dont give way to hating.. And yet, dont look too good nor talk to wise.. If you can dream and not let dreams be your master... If you can think and not make thoughts your aim.. If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same If you can bear to hear the truth youve spoken Twisted by knaves to make antrap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken And stoop and buildem with worn out tools. If you can make one heap of all your winnings.. And risk it on a turn of pitch and toss, And lose, and start at your beginning And never breath a word about your loss. If you can force yoir heart, nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after yoi are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except for the will which says to them: HOLD ON!! If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you. If all men count with you but none too much If you can fill the unforgiving minute With 60 seconds of distance run, Yours is the earth and everything thats in it, Which is more, you will be a man my son My momma Mae Ruffin taught me this peom written by Rudyard Kipling when I was 10yrs old.. I did not understand it then but as I got older, it all made sense.. Momma, I have lived it, I understand it.. Thank you momma.. I Am A Man Now!!!
