A needed reminder

This is my favorite poem.  I used part of it in my valedictorian speech on the day I graduated from high school and some days, I read it as a reminder that sometimes, everything will work out even when it feels lonely.  The holidays are always a tough time for me.  Somehow, this poem came across my computer today and I felt it was a needed reminder that we all go down our own roads  and while some of them are very quiet and not traveled much,  doing so makes all the difference in the end.

The Road Not Taken

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.
