Why don't they stay that way

Leaves, so green and young
why don't they stay that way
why do they turn brown
why do they wilt or fall away..

Pictures, so fresh n rosy
why don't they stay that way
why do they fade with time
why all the dust and grime

Streams, so cool and clear
why don't they stay that way
why do they get dirty
why do they have to go dry

Days that start happy
why don't they stay that way
why the arguments..the face-offs
why not more laughs...

Memories that curve up a smile
why don't they stay that way
make them be the same, all the while
do they have to go away...
