The Road Not Taken - Poem 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.

everyone in life reaches a moment where one has to decide and make critical decisions....choices define who we are. (Report) Reply
When we take the road less travelled by, it means we are doing the things others have done differently and that makes us winners ("And that has made all the difference"). (Report) Reply

I remember reading this a year ago in school. I never truly understood to take the road not taken. It makes a lot more sense now. (Report) Reply
