I'm just NOT into poetry and never have been. However, I did read "IF" and found it very appropriate. I'd enjoy it more if it were in simple prose form because when I read poetry I can't avoid the "sing-songy" rhythm, which really distracts completely from the message. But, that's just me....

IF by Kipling was one of the ways I helped to raise our sons. I'm from a family of all girls, and our Mom and Dad. My Dad was the one that told all of us about that poem. He learned it in the 8th grade he said....I wonder how many kids learn that poem in school today?
