"You shall above all things be glad and young" - e.e. cummings

You shall above all things be glad and young
For children have an important song to be sung
To take a deep breath and empty your lungs
Exposed for all the earth to see
For don't we hide behind maturity
We cannot move and cannot dance
Cannot dare to take any chance
For youth is where we leave romance
And age is more than about growing old
Be young and glad for these are gold
