We were golden for a brief moment.

And by Robert Frost:
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.

My advice to you:
Be golden today.

Lovely post, T. You have a very special boy.
i think that sentence is ...perfect.
and so useful!
(it's *such* a good sentence that i can get almost as excited about it as i would had it been my son's!)
I can see why you kept your son's spelling lesson. Does he remember it? thanks, sp
I fell short of golden, but I get credit for trying, no?
Thank you Vespersparrow...the "boy" is almost twenty-five! Almost too tender-hearted, alas.
Susan, feel free to use it anytime.
xo
sussah, I should tell him about it. He doesn't read my blog because he says then he'd know everything that I had to say before I said it. Hrmph. (Dare I say he's wrong!)
Melinda, golden and afloat!
Not a thought I would have had, without your (and your son's) prompting. To be golden...a worthy goal for any day.
lovely - all of it - lovely. I will aspire to be golden today. R.'s words from long ago reach far into the future.
Insightful, deeply moving, soul-inspiring posts recently, T. Gracias, as always, for sharing out into the world.la
I love your son's sentence - I will remember it. And the Frost poem. Wonderful.
Oh, to be golden again, if but for a brief moment! A priceless quote; inspiring!
"We are stardust.
We are golden.
And we've got to ourselves back to the garden."
from "Woodstock" by Joni Mitchell
