Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature has a way of lending then transcending 
every season in due course has her own remorse 
When summer flowers faint, without constraint  
the Autumn leaves assemble and then disassemble 
Sunshine gives her glows, then hard to hold it goes 
even starlight in the sky with the dawn it has to fly 
In the night the moon is swept but by day it is inept
like the golden poppy's way, nothing gold can stay
No, nothing gold can stay...

What can one say abut what one has? Good deeds. Those are the things we take with us. Hugs.

Even starlight in the sky with the dawn it has to fly In the night the moon is swept but by day it is inept--well said, Vienna. Aptly illustrative of nothing gold can stay. Win, BIG!
