The Closet is Half Full




The Road Not Taken

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 traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

...Robert Frost

I love that poem...I'm stealing the last verse to post on my FB status. It has, indeed, made all the difference!

Debbi....Jodi selected that last verse for the bottom of the CI Info Page on our website www.rallycaps.net. This is the first time I've seen the entire poem.

Oh puppy! Keep on this road- it has taught you so much and created a stupendous lady.
