The Outsiders

For some odd reason, I was thinking about the movie "The Outsiders" based on the book we had to read in middle school. I don't remember what got me on this train of thought, but what really stuck in my mind was the line "Nothing gold can stay, Pony Boy." As I was poking around on some of the blogs I follow, I found that this poem was also on another crafter's mind!

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafs 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.
