A poem : "The Road not taken” by Robert Frost

                   “The Road not taken”   by Robert Frost 

         

       The poem “The Road not taken” is written by Robert Frost.  He is a famous American poet.  His poems are classics because they have many layers of meanings.  In the poem “The Road not taken”, he shared his views about decision making.  He revealed the importance of our decisions which can decide our destiny.

         On the road of life, the speaker arrives at a point where he must decide which of two equally appealing (or equally intimidating) choices is the better one. He examines one choice as best he can, but the future prevents him from seeing where it leads.

         The speaker selects the road that appears at first glance to be less worn and therefore less traveled. This selection suggests that he has an independent spirit and does not wish to follow the crowd. After a moment, he concludes that both roads are about equally worn. 

           The speaker remains committed to his decision to take the road he had previously selected, saying that he will save the other road for another day. He observes, however, that he probably will never pass this way again and thus will never have an opportunity to take the other road. 

           In years to come, the speaker says, he will be telling others about the choice he made. While doing so, he will sigh either with relief that he made the right choice or with regret that he made the wrong choice. Whether right or wrong, the choice will have had a significant impact on his life.
