Fleeting Moments

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.
-Robert Frost

I'm thinking this is the autumn of their childhood.

I was just thinking of that poem yesterday...not in relation to childhood, though. Is that a tough thought?

Actually...no :)

I was also looking at the gold leaves through the windows outside.
