willy Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I am leaving this community feeling stronger than when I arrived. Thank you. I am grateful for your compassion, empathy and silliness. Be well.“IF” - a Joni Mitchell song kept coming to mind while I traveled my journey here with you. I found it spoke to me. I thought I'd share...IFIf you can keep your headWhile all about youPeople are losing theirs and blaming youIf you can trust yourselfWhen everybody doubts youAnd make allowance for their doubting too.If you can waitAnd not get tired of waitingAnd when lied aboutStand tallDon't deal in liesAnd when hatedDon't give in to hating backDon't need to look so goodDon't need to talk too wise.If you can dreamAnd not make dreams your masterIf you can thinkAnd not make intellect your gameIf you can meetWith triumph and disasterAnd treat those two imposters just the sameIf you can force your heartAnd nerve and sinewTo serve youAfter all of them are goneAnd so hold onWhen there is nothing in youNothing but the willThat's telling you to hold on!Hold on!If you can bear to hearThe truth you've spokenTwisted and misconstruedBy some smug foolOr watch your life's workTorn apart and broken downAnd still stoop to build againWith worn out tools.If you can draw a crowdAnd keep your virtueOr walk with KingsAnd keep the common touchIf neither enemies nor loving friendsCan hurt youIf everybody counts with youBut none too much.If you can fill the journeyOf a minuteWith sixty seconds worth of wonder and delightThenThe Earth is yoursAnd Everything that's in itBut more than thatI knowYou'll be alrightYou'll be alright.Cause you've got the fightYou've got the insightYou've got the fightYou've got the insight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
