I went to Goodwill yesterday to kill some time and ended up picking up a couple of books for the kids and one kids book for myself. It was a copy of Robert Frost poems. I remembered in 7th grade how my teacher, Mrs Leach made us memorise some of his poems. At the time I hated it but later grew to be thankful and appreciate the poetry.This was my favorite, so I thought I'd share it with whomever ...
The Road Not Taken By 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;
5
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,
10
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.
15
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.

Love the picture of Ellie & her cyber-hug! How adorable! And Frost's poetry is possibly my favorite. That poem being in the very tops! It was a favorite of my father so he always read it to us.
