Nothing Gold Can Stay

Rating: 4.3


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.

This poem was so bad my eyeballs fell out and the dog started to cry and I dropped kicked the cat over the fence

I love this poem it reminds me of my childhood and how precious my family were to me. They've now passed away and I'm a middle aged with nothing but pain in my life.
