A Poem Inspired by Kipling

What Will You Do? 
by Cody Murakami

IF you run into struggles,
Will you be able to win?
If you happen to stumble,
Will you fall into sin?

IF you loose all you have,
Will you still keep a smile?
If you can't get it back,
Can you still pass this trial?

IF you have little hope left,
Will your faith remain strong?
Or will you completely give up?
Or regret you were wrong?

IF you can't get what you want,
But you have all you need,
Will you appreciate what you have?
Or will you toil in greed?

IF you find you're betrayed,
Will you forgive and forget?
Or will you hold those responsible,
To repay you their debt?

IF you find that in life,
Things don't go your way,
Will you drop to your knees,
Bow your head, and then pray?

As you go through your life,
Who, when, or where,
You'll find that sometimes,
Life just isn't fair.

But keep your chin up,
And to God, be true.
He's got your back,
Now its all up to you.
