If. Poem by Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling plainly and with great insight describes what masculinity really is, He has a skill at succinctness and plain talking. I printed this poem up and gave it to my son when he was young. He still has the poem.

IF

Loved it. A beautiful poem. I have read it many times but, hearing it so beautifully spoken, is wonderful.

Ultimate poetry

Epic poetry that every person should listen to understand the way a life can be lead with a small and strong fire within...

A sea compressed in a drop of water

The poems are more powerful than prose. They convey a wisdom of life time in a few lines. The value of this poem can be understood only by a few. I know a man who has lived by memorising this poem to heart.- Haresh Raichura
