THE ROAD NOT TAKEN 

Robert Frost (1874-1963) poet, wrote this famous poem in 1915 and has given generations of us pause to think about roads we have taken.

The Road Not Taken

“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 for 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.”

I can only add that I too took the road less traveled by and that has made all the difference.

“But the gate is small and the road is narrow that leads to true life. Only a few people find that road.” Jesus
