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, nor 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 impostors just the same; If you can bear 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- and build ’em 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, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force-your heart- and nerve- and sinew To serve your 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 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 sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth- and everything that’s in it, And-which is more-you’ll be a Man, my son!

This is one of my favourite poems.. I love reading it and I longed to hear it recited, but I always get frustrated by the style of the delivery… even a giant amongst the voices, Sir Michael Caine and his version of this poem frustrates me and makes me feel that if I could recite it with the actor’s ability like his, I would put the force into different words or made the pause in a different place… but today I came across your version… and I held my breath till the end and had tears rolling down my cheeks as line after line, I was hearing every single word said exactly how I would have wanted to say it if I had the gift for reciting it… well you have that gift and you deliver that beautiful, powerful poem in the most perfect way… thank you ❤

This is everything. Thank you so much, friend. It is the very reason I wanted to recite it - in hope to connect it to the souls of others the way I connect to it, and to be a channel for how others would also feel upon hearing it. Cheers to you!
