P365 - 2015 - Day 197 - Stay gold Ponyboy. Stay gold...
The Princess had soccer training in Toms River, so I had to drag myself off of the beach to get everyone home and get her and myself ready to go. It was actually pretty cool out all day and by the evening at practice it was cool enough that I just rolled down my car windows, put my seat back and enjoyed a good book. One can never read The Outsiders too many times, so when The Bear and The Princess picked this up for summer reading, I was all over it.... I got to my favorite part when he recites the poem to Johnny as they watch the sun rise.
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue ti 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
Stay gold Ponyboy. Stay gold....
