Favorite Quote:
"When it rains, look for rainbows. When it's dark look for stars." -Theodore Rosevelt


It’s true nothing gold can stay 
The golden sunsets must turn to blue 
And the glittering dew drops must evaporate in the afternoon sun 
But the blue sky is breathtaking 
And the dew drops give life to the vibrant green grass 
There's beauty in these things, if you open your eyes to see it 
Then you’ll see that nature’s purity never truly left 
Even when the bright golden leaves fall from the trees 
And the pure white snow covers the grass 
Or even when the clouds fill the sky 
And mask the sunrise for a little while 
Nothing gold can stay 
But beauty is forever 
 


The author's comments:

The book, Outsiders, inspired this piece. In it Pony Boy quotes one of Robert Frost's poems, Nothing Gold Can Stay. This poem was written in response to that.
