Of

 peaceful calm enters eager soul
Seeking more, those rambunctious teens

Bringing joy,  happiness and even bliss on his way

Don’t throw them away;
Keeping ourselves array
So that we be at assay
With books positively lay

Read lavishly and do play,
Or in bright sunshine splay.
All healthy tips; no betray,
No deceiving, no astray.
Hence be ready...
