If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;

When lovely china blooms with fiery red flowers, I remember you

When the moon shines on the lonely waters of a remote lake, I remember you

When the first drop of dew kisses the parched lips of a red rose, I remember you

When on unknown shores, the sun sets, I remember you

When the sun rises from behind the quiet dark mountains, I remember you

I wait from dawn till dusk, from spring to winter ............hoping your return one day.
