Youth Day poems
Happy Youth Day, brave and bright,
Bold dreams and plans that reach the sky,
May every day be full of light
And every hope be soaring high!
Youth is not an age — it is a state of heart,
When eyes are shining, full of fire,
May every day be a brand-new start
And bring you all that you desire!
