THE ROAD NOT TAKEN by Robert Frost

This poem is one of my favorites. I think we had it in our course book in standard 9th in school. It is really inspiring. Just wanted to share it with all of you.
Here goes --- 

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, 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 marked 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.
