You've read "The Road Not Taken" 
As I did in my youth. 
It tells of an adventurer 
Who took the other route. 
I'm here to say my life is like 
That traveller in old days, 
I always choose the different road 
To get me on my way. 
My life has been a hectic thing 
Of ups and downs and joys, 
But it brought me here to this great day 
With wisdom, pride, and poise. 
I might have chose the well worn path 
And never known a fear. 
I could have stayed on safety's road 
And never shed a tear. 
But in keeping to the easy road 
I would have missed so much: 
A song of joy, a peaceful scene, 
My lover's gentle touch. 
So when you make that choice in life 
About the road to try, 
You can go the way you know the best 
Or the one that teaches life.
