    As Johnny had said to Ponyboy “stay gold” which refers to when Ponyboy recites the poem “Nothing gold can stay” to Johnny in the church.

Therefore when it says “Nothing Gold Can Stay” it simply that nothing precious or of great value in the materialistic sense can stay forever. Gold symbolizes materialism‚ it would not last for long and it will give a false sense of security and happiness. Gold‚ which is money based‚ can take years to accumulate but can be washed away in a millisecond.
