Which Road Will You Take?

Here is a poem written by Robert Frost (1874–1963) which I love and I feel I can relate to so well.

I am sure we all have come up to crossroads at one point or the other in our sojourn on earth. The outcome differs based on the road we chose to take.

Oft times the road less travelled is the one with lots of ups and downs and to get to the end you have got to learn to get yourself up, dust yourself up and move on. 

The Road Not Taken

by ROBERT FROST

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveller, 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 travelled by,

And that has made all the difference.
