Staying Gold

Leave no stone unturned Leave no lesson unlearned Have your first kiss Remember those you miss Run in circles till you fall to your knees Climb and fall from many trees Eat cookies when Mom's not looking Try your hand in a little cooking Stare at clouds above Hold hands, fall in love Read your sister's notebook Dare to go in your brother's room, just a look Jump into a pool with your clothes on Sit for hours under the warm sun Splash in a puddle on the sidewalk Draw millions of pictures with colorful chalk Don't eat your greens Cut off your favorite jeans Get in trouble or maybe a fight Try hard to stay up all night Forget about the rules Blow off homework or school Play truth or dare Do things without a care Don't always do what you're told Just try to... stay gold This poem was inspired by the poem by Robert Frost, "Nothing Gold Can Stay..." I absolutely love that poem, and maybe this just is a way to help you out.
