Thanksgiving (continued)


Today, I feel a need to continue last week’s discussion about Thanksgiving.  Always at this time in the final stretch of the semester, feelings of stress and fatigue are normally in the forefront in everything I do.  How to type that last paper, not to mention how to reach the level of my standards, is always a quandary to me at this time of the year.  I wonder how can I pull this off again, and how exactly did I accomplish this before?  Then, I remember how far I’ve come and, yet, I still have “miles to go before I sleep”, and that, in itself gives me strength to face another class, and type that essay.  Then, I think about His promise that He is always there, guiding my every “roll”, which gives me great comfort and energy.  For that, I am eternally thankful!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, everyone!

Robert Frost

Today, I read some of the poems of Robert Frost and remembered that I wrote a poem in a reflection of one of his.  I thought I would post it for you.  Enjoy!

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.
--Robert Frost, Excerpt from “The Road Not Taken, Mountain Interval, 1920”



View of “The Road Not Taken”

So many years have passed.
Life eternally presents many roads to travel by.
Youth pretends to be our friend,
displaying all the splendors of life
before our very eyes.
Then, one day we have to choose;
win or lose. 
Yes, the ‘one less traveled by’ is
the one, excluding much fun.
Are we happy with this plight?
Yes, because we know what is right and wrong,
thus, we do what is right.
