Thursday's Poem by Robert Frost~ The Road Not Taken

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 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.



Can you relate to Robert Frost's poem?
At some point in our lives, usually more than once, we all arrive at a fork in the road where we must make a choice, which path to choose?
Take a minute and think about a fork in the road you've experienced. Years after you made that decision did you ever wonder, what if? What if I chose plan B?
I say don't look back, don't wonder what if. You are where you are today because it's where you are meant to currently be.
Remember, you are the person you are because of the road you traveled to get where you're at, at this very moment.

Where ever you're road leads you today, make the best of it. Remember, there are no wrong paths, only learning experiences.
