The Road not Taken by Robert Frost.

I'm going through a real poetry splurge of late. Perhaps nostlagia but meh the old favourites of my youth will never fade. I do like this poem. I like it even more than Jenny Johnson's 'When I am Old I will wear a Purple Hat.' because it describes life and nostaligia of life, Looking back to look forward.

The Road not Taken
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
layin leaves no feet 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
