HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY....

This is to wish all the Mom's out there a wonderful Mother's Day! I'm not sure why I love this poem by Robert Frost, maybe because one of my favorite movie scenes ever is when Ponyboy recites this poem in the Outsiders:

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.
I'm sure this poem means a hundred different things to everyone. One meaning I get from it is to enjoy everything while you can, because life is fluid. One fantastic moment today should be enjoyed for all its worth; once the moment is gone there is no retrieving it in all its glory.
