I've been thinking about it, and that poem, that guy that wrote it, he meant you're gold when you're a kid, like green. When you're a kid everything's new, dawn.

S. E. HintonYou get tough like me and you don't get hurt. You look out for yourself and nothin' can touch you.
S. E. HintonYou still have a lot of time to make yourself be what you want. There's still lots of good in the world. Tell Dally. I don't think he knows.
