Charles Henderson Poet Free verse

If You Are ....

If you are rejected
Decide what you want ...
And go after it.

	If you are dejected
	Listen to life’s song ...
	And come out of it.

		If you are expected
		Either do or don’t ...
		And don’t argue it.

			If you are respected
			Don’t do what is wrong ...
			And make light of it.
