Just Cured - Experience Fine Foods

A friend sent me a copy of a poem the other night. It is something that she reads to her toddler son and occasionally reads for herself when she is troubled.

I immediately recalled the poem. It appeared in a collection of children’s poetry we had at home when I was young. I read this poem often as a child, but had not run across it in decades. As I read, I realized that I had forgotten not only the poem, but also some of the message. Reading it a few times slowly helped erase some of the troubles tossing in the back of my mind.

The poem is If –, by Rudyard Kipling.
