I'm reminded of the reasons why I love you from the depth of my heart and soul.
And I wonder what I'd do without you,
without your healing smile,
your words of faith,
the caring and sensitive way you touch me,
lifting me just when I need it most. Without you,
what would I have?
What would I be?
I can't imagine existing in a world where someone doesn't love me the way you do.
You're the only one who everunderstood me and accepted me for who I am.
And I think you're nothing short of amazing.
Your love always has been and always will be,
life's greatest gift to me!

下面這個是壹篇非常有名的散文詩歌，作者：繆爾·厄爾（Samuel Ullman ）
YOUTH
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of
rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a
quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of
the deep springs of life.
Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the
appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of
60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We
grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder,
the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of
living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless
station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and
power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism
and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as
your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die
young at 80.

青春
青春不是年華，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沈的意誌，恢宏的想
象，炙熱的戀情；青春是生命的深泉在湧流。
青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進取壓倒茍安。如此銳氣，二十後生而有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，並非垂老，理想丟棄，方墮暮年。
歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻，頹廢必致靈魂。憂煩，惶恐，喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。
無論年屆花甲，擬或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇跡之誘惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有壹臺天線，只要妳從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的信號，妳就青春永駐，風華常存。
壹旦天線下降，銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭、自暴自棄油然而生，即使年方二十，實已垂垂老矣；然則只要樹起天線，捕捉樂觀信號，妳就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺年輕。
