Robert Frost: Nothing Gold Can Stay
NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

It is January and no better time to read a poem by a man named "Frost." The poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" tells me, first of all, there is gold. Secondly, that it does not last. Now we could whine and complain because the gold is temporary or we could experience the gold and enjoy it while it is here. I choose the latter and I hope you do as well.
The gold is all around us. If you slow down and look, you may be surprised at how plentiful it is. This weekend enjoy the gold of life for as our poet Robert Frost reminds us, "Nothing gold can stay."
Until the next time
