Nothing Gold Can Stay~

why i love the habit of rising early~

after my second son my body decided that 4:00 am was a natural time for me to rise...i fought it for awhile, laying there, trying to fall back asleep, then one morning i crawled out of bed, started a pot of coffee and here i am embracing what the world has to offer me at the wee early minutes as dawn is creeping to day...it happens all so fast and then the beauty is gone in a blink of an eye....

i remeber in school we had to read

             "The Outsiders"

This poem forever stayed with me...

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
