Son
if you  can wait
and
not be weary.
If you can stick to your head
without headache.
If you can gather
success
with worn-out tools
and
not complain.
If you can be
brave
when friends are cawards,
and
also do all that is good
and
have an ego in appluase.
If you can fight
and
never be tired.
If you can treat
the lost
and
gain
as one, even when friends may mock.
If you can
pass
the unforgiving seconds.
Then son,
you are
a
man.
