Save O Young Man

Lustrously youthful;
Lion-like in strength;
Fearless like an eagle;
Courageous;
Critical;
Optimal;
And emotional too…
O, young man!
You see the river flooding;
Currents whirling;
Depths expanding;
Young and old getting curled…
Jump!
Hump!
Swim with 
Full swing….
Bring, as a minimum,
One back to life…
