My favorite poem of all time is The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. I wanted to make a layout about my love of this poem so here it is:

Credits: September 07 RAKScraps Mega-Kit (orange paper by Cathy Rose; stitches by Christy Heins; leaves by Candace Duffy Jones) and Addon (light tan paper by Rachel Dickson; photo corners by Robin Cabana; button, button thread, button tie, and ricrac by Kim Jensen)

Journaling: The first time I read this poem it immediately became my favorite. That was 15 years ago and I have come by many choices. I have always thought of this poem. I would always choose the path I truly wanted. It wasn’t always the easiest but it made my life richer and more meaningful to me.

The Road Not Taken

by Robert Frost

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
