Taking to the road one foot in front of the other
Let's Take a Walk Two roads diverged in a yellow wood And sorry I could not travel both. And being one traveler long I stood And looked down one far as I could..... Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --- I took the one less traveled by And that has made all the difference. Most of you are familiar with Robert Frost's poem, "The Road Less Traveled".
