What is the poem containing words if you teach a child?

You're likely thinking of the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling. It doesn't contain the exact phrase "if you teach a child", but it is a powerful poem about teaching children valuable life lessons.

Here are a few lines from the poem that relate to teaching children:

* "If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster / And treat those two impostors just the same;" (This teaches children about resilience and handling both success and failure with grace.)

* "If you can fill the unforgiving minute / With sixty seconds' worth of distance run;" (This teaches the importance of making the most of time and living life to the fullest.)

* "Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it," (This emphasizes the potential and responsibility children have in the world.)
