Nothing gold can stay today... <br />Autumn comes then gold fades away. <br />But golden hues of light return, <br />Only when in love we yearn. <br />Soon the spring shall bring morning dew. <br />Then golden flowers return to you. <br />And on her hair of golden light, <br />That golden sun fades to night. <br />Night returns then fades to gray. <br />Soon all the gold has gone away. <br />When morning shines its golden rays. <br />Everything gold never really fades.<br /><br />A.J.
