THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

Did you ever think or did you ever said that "How i wish i can turn back the time to change it and have a better life." I did. That is why i am sharing this poem with you. I did wish i can turn back the time but it won't come true. I know. I first knew about this poem back when I'm in secondary. It really gives me a big hit. Well because teachers often ask what do you want to be when you grow up? The answer were often the same. Police, soldier, nurse..Most common job for those in secondary i mean when I'm in secondary. But then when i learn about this poem n its mean it really give me a huge impact on how and who am i going to be. I have thought of being this and have this kind of job but then if it not working right as i have plan what am i going to do? I can't turn back the time. I can't start all over from the start point. I have to start somewhere in the middle where i can fix it which mean the lesson learn part and do more better. As the poet had say, i have to look down as far as i could to foresee where it bent. Choices of life that is important. That gives the impact of future life. Will it make a difference on me or you if we take the less traveled by or the other?? Of course and it depend on how you will travel the road. Some are winding wide, steep and high, sloppy or gravel. And i believes at the end of the road that will be choose has it own victory prizes that make me feel worth to travel the road. Till today this poem really gives me the effect to think thoroughly on my decision about my future road. So here is the poem that i love so much. Enjoy! :D

Illustration of Robert Frost poem

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 marked 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. 

Poem Meaning :

You will always have choices in life that are tough, but you can only do one at a time. Frost says that he doubts he will ever get a chance to take the other road, and just like in real life, when you make a decision, you cant always go back and change it. You will also live wondering what the other choice may have brought you.
