Dedicated To Kate and Gerry McCann
by Rosie Wed Aug 05, 2009 12:22 am
I just thought this was a good time and a good place to put this poem by Kipling, one of my favourites and so very very true! I dedicate this to Kate and Gerry and to anyone else who is feeling down.
Come on Kate and Gerry McCann, you can do this, you must do it. Keep the faith and keep believing.

By Rudyard Kipling.
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;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: `Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings -nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And -which is more -you'll be a Man, my son!

I love that poem too.
I have a tea towel with a part of it written on it. Almost makes housework a pleasure!

thats a lovely poem, and really appropriate to!
Iv just been reading some headlines and they have have touched my heart...things like ''mccanns detectives probe viable new leads'' and ''lead on madeleine mccann found''
You know when you get caught in a moment??well thats the sort of thing that just happened to me lol. I take my hat off to kate and gerry...More than 2 years later madeleine is still missing and means soo much to them they will never give up on her.Never choose to stop searching for her and will always be out there probing every single lead that they are faced with.It made me feel a little sad for them but yet hopeful and happy at the same time and that madeleine is such a lucky little girl to have such dedicated and persistent parents. Its their determination that will find their baby. No one can even begin to comprehend what they are going through unless they have been right there wearing the same shoes as them.
Madeleines face as stared out at as all in pictures and news reports for over 2 years but not one of us can really connect with that little girl emotionally like her parents and the rest of her family and friends do when they see her little face staring back at them.It must rip their hearts out to be where they are. Looking at her pictures, feeling that emotional bond with her, wanting to reach out and connect with her physically again but they cant.Its almost as if shes dead ........only she isnt.They have the memories of a loved one that they hold close to their hearts and they cannot stop yearning for that loved one........... they cannot grieve for them because they aint physically gone from this world yet.
I pray that this is their breakthrough they have waited for for soo long, and i hope and prayer they get madeleine back soon.God if there is only one prayer you listen to today then it let it be that one.
