My Version of Rudyard Kipling's poem "If"

If you can keep the simple pleasures, if you can trust God, if you can wait at the window to see a shooting star, if you can dream of the future while holding to the present, if you can think of the past without regret, if you can meet the new day with hope, if you can bear hardship and pain, if you can make someone smile, if you can force yourself to jump in the cold water and just get it over with, if you can talk to your best friend all night long, if you can fill your cup with coffee, then you can live life with the satisfaction of being you.
