Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken"

Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" will always be one of my favorite poems of all time. It tells the story of a man who has two roads to choose from. Both roads have their benefits, but only one can be chosen, mostly because "way leads on to way" and he "doubted if I should ever come back."

I have had to make decisions like this and then regretted it, like in line 16-17. Yet the final line gives hope through the regret, "And that has made all the difference." Even though my first decision may have been the wrong one at the time, "way [lead] on to way" and I "[knew] I should never come back." The road I had taken lead me away from home, but the next way lead me home, "And that has made all the difference."

All through my life, this poem has been a symbol of strength in times of difficult decision, as I hope it always will be. And I hope I always make the right decision, but I know that if I do not, I should never look back but always follow "the way that leads on to way."
