My Favorite Robert Frost's Poem

My Favorite poem by Robert Frost is The Road Not Taken. The poem is about standing at the "cross roads" of life. There are two paths a person can take, the choice is absolutely up to that person. No matter which road one takes, there is no turning back to take that other road. That is why most of the time we ask ourselves the question "what if?"...What if we made different choices about the life we're living, where would we be, where would've we end up, we might never know. Like in the poem, even though both of the roads were equal distance, he picked the one "traveled less". There is no right or wrong path, what matters is what choices we make walking on that path, choices that we should not regret and decission we should not doubt.

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.
