I’m not much of a favorites type of guy. When it comes to quotes and poems I love that one can find it’s way into your life at just the right time. Today I was reminded of this poem:
1. The Road Not Taken – Robert Frost
|
| |
| |
| TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood, |
|
| And sorry I could not travel both |
|
| And be one traveler, long I stood |
|
| And looked down one as far as I could |
|
| To where it bent in the undergrowth; |
5 |
| |
| Then took the other, as just as fair, |
|
| And having perhaps the better claim, |
|
| Because it was grassy and wanted wear; |
|
| Though as for that the passing there |
|
| Had worn them really about the same, |
10 |
| |
| And both that morning equally lay |
|
| In leaves no step had trodden black. |
|
| Oh, I kept the first for another day! |
|
| Yet knowing how way leads on to way, |
|
| I doubted if I should ever come back. |
15 |
| |
| I shall be telling this with a sigh |
|
| Somewhere ages and ages hence: |
|
| Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— |
|
| I took the one less traveled by, |
|
| And that has made all the difference. |
