Hello friends,
Thank you for sharing an ‘IF’ moment with me….. ”If you can trust yourself …. don’t deal in lies…. don’t get tired of waiting… dream – but not make dreams your master… “
If, like me, you enjoy Kipling’s work, do you have favourite Kipling piece?
And, if you do or if you don’t, thank you so much anyway for sharing this Kipling moment with me.
Wishing you health and happiness always friends,
Gaye
