Here is the full text of the poem:

老夫聊发少年狂，
左牵黄，右擎苍，
锦帽貂裘，千骑卷平冈。
为报倾城随太守，
亲射虎，看孙郎。

酒酣胸胆尚开张，
鬓微霜，又何妨！
持节云中，何日遣冯唐？
会挽雕弓如满月，
西北望，射天狼。

This poem reflects Su Shi's political ideals of strengthening the country and resisting enemies, expressing his eagerness to serve the imperial court and his pride in doing so .
