The Road Less Travelled
I took the road less travelled,
as the path was fresh and green.
The undergrowth so lush and moist,
as none I’d ever seen.
I took the path less travelled,
as this path beckoned to me.
The swaying trees so lithe and tall,
so salient to see.
I took the lane less travelled,
as some solitude I sought
to clear my mind and cleanse my soul,
unwrought my troubled thought.
I took the life less travelled,
as this path was paved for me.
Its winding roads and hard terrain
taught lessons few can see.
