The Road Less Traveled

"The Road Less Traveled" Not all roads diverge in a wood, Some lead to places misunderstood. They wind and twist, never straight, Leading us to a different fate. While others take the path well-known, The beaten track that's often shown, Some of us crave a different view, And choose the road that's less pursued. It's not for fame or glory we stray, But to find a new and different way. A way that's harder, but more true, A way that's meant for just a few. The road less traveled is not for all, It's for the brave who hear the call, Who seek adventure, and a chance to see, The world in all its majesty. And so we take the path unknown, With courage, hope, and faith we've shown, That sometimes taking the harder way, Leads us to a brighter day. For life is but a winding road, With many twists and turns bestowed, And those who choose to go their own, Will find a way to make a home. So if you choose the road less traveled, Know that you're not alone or addled, But one of many who choose to see, The world in all its mystery.
