My Favorite Poem is " IF " by Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling was a famous writer. He was an Englishman who wrote novels of India. He is not known much as a poet, but one of his poems is a stand out. Titled "IF', the poem was framed on my study desk when I went to the Academy. I had first read it in college and after that I keep reading the poem at regular intervals. It is a inspirational poem, though a little lengthy. Some of his lines can never be forgotten. As an example " if you can walk with kings and yet not lose the common touch" and " if you can treat success and defeat, both imposters just the same". It ends with " then you shall be a man my son". I love it and hope more of my friends can read it.
