I read the lyrics to Dylan's Forever Young at my nephews baptism as a poem, and half the audience was crying. Excerpt:

May you grow up to be righteous

May you grow up to be true

May you always know the truth

And see the lights surrounding you

May you always be courageous

Stand upright and be strong

May you stay forever young

May you stay forever young.

I play this song for my kids, and I have a hard time not internalizing it myself. It's one of my favorites.

That’s beautiful. I’m thinking I should steal this idea and translate it to Swedish for the next baptism in my family.
