My all time favorite poem....

Like many of you my life has made some turns I did not expect. When you come to a fork in the road you have to take it. One cannot go two ways at the same time. My all time favorite poem is: The Road Not Taken by 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:

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as far that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

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.

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.

There have been so many times in my life that I felt like I was standing looking down two roads....and I took the one less traveled by ....and that has made all the difference. Looking back, on the whole, I am glad about my choices. It certainly has made for an interesting life!
