"Nothing Gold Can Stay"

By: Robert Frost

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.

Christina, I'm so sorry to hear about Pablo. I heard about this on the news yesterday and I just thought to my self why do the cops have to do s--t like that why do they take advange that they have guns and can use them whenever they want to. I so sorry to hear about how he had to go, but you are caring something of him and you will always have a part of him even though he is not right there. Your son or daughter will have that special piece of him. I'm so sorry for your lost but be strong cause your baby will need it and so do you...
