Answer 1

I'm not sure if this is the exact poem you were looking for.... but this is the only one I know of or could find that nearly ends with that. Golden Rules for LivingIf you open it, close it.If you turn it on, turn it off.If you unlock it, lock it up.if you break it, admit it.If you can't fix it, call in someone who can.If you borrow it, return it.If you value it, take care of it.If you make a mess, clean it up.If you move it, put it back.If it belongs to someone else and you want to use it, getpermission.If you don't know how to operate it, leave it alone.If it's none of your business, don't ask questions.If it ain't broke, don't fix it.If it will brighten someone's day, say it.If it will tarnish someone's reputation, keep it to yourself.

Answer 2

The poem you are referring to is "The Code of the West" by Baxter Black. The full last stanza goes: "When you make a mistake, admit it. It reflects strength of character, base pride on being right, not on being wrong. Confident enough to stand on your own word, you put more trust in God than in any man-made code. And if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
