Two paths diverged into the woods, some choose the easier path. I followed my heart and chose to go straight. It was a treacherous path and made me the best I could be. I’m glad I chose the harder way, It was the right choice for me. I hope that you will chose as well, Blazing a trail only you can travail.

Wise words Bill. Not all follow the heart, however and hence suffering.

Thanks for the comment, my friend. I think we all experience suffering at some time in our life ... probably for learning purposes or just our poor choices. Have a blissful week. Bill

Nice poem! I like the message about choosing the harder path to grow and become your best self. It feels encouraging and personal, like a little pep talk to keep going even when things get tough. Simple but meaningful.

Yes, choosing the right path is always nice than the easy one. It's always worth it. I love the last line, it's so inspiring. Best, Anne

Could have used travel instead of travail, but both rhymed anyway. Thanks for the visit, Anne. Your comments are always kind. A poet friend in Texas, Bill
