The road less travelled was rather lonely
Well. Obviously
Still I trudged along bravely
Hoping for miracles perhaps innocuously
Naivety has it plus points verily
Stars in the eyes blocked out certain reality
Looking back today the journey was a bit bouncy
The artlessness helped grab opportunities chancy
Had I been wiser to the pitfalls and known it was dicey
I may not have cherry picked this road known to be risky
Having survived the roller-coaster ride nonchalantly
I can smile with some satisfaction despite a ride so bumpy
It was fun. I may not have reached where I wanted to be
My destination was never determined you see
The one clarity I could claim was a desire to be free
My freedom made me appreciate what I had as my bounty
Gratitude leads to more gains therein lies its beauty
The road less traveled turned out alright even if a little scary
Robert knew things would turn frosty especially receptions
People stick to herd mentalities they decline deviations
The words stuck in the mind even as the heart sought resolution
He penned a thought so rare and precious it had resonation
The crowded pathways will part ways to make way for the perception
The road less traveled will take you home to your destination
