The Road Not Taken – Robert Frost

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.

Topic : The Road Not Taken

Write about a situation in which you must choose one thing at a crossroads. Take one of the two paths (or more), like the lines of Robert Frost’s ‘The Road Not Taken’ and write about a situation where everything has changed because of it.

My situation : When I found out the Lotto, which won the first prize, in the book I borrowed from a friend

1. I hand it over to my friend.
2. You take the winning lottery and change it into another one in the book.
3. Ask for some money in return for handing it to a friend.

Hmm.. I think I really agonize about what to decide. First of all, it is not option 3. This is of course his, and I don’t want my friend to know what I think. Frankly, It is true that I want the money. Isn’t the money too big?! How many things can I do? Let’s imagine. First, I am now learning Adobe Premier Pro and After Effect. I will buy related books, and computer specifications should be very very good. I will spend some money on my growth and development. But wisdom can not be bought with money. My ability is too.

What kind of person do I want to be? I want to be a person recognized as capable. I think this is the most important to me. And I also want to give a lot of support to others. I want to help people who are in trouble. I also want to connect them with people like me. Of course, I won’t always go well. In that case, I have to learn how to suffer. Money alone can’t solve everything. There will also be a problem with my conscience and sorry for him. But shouldn’t money go to a good spender? Isn’t this a big problem in the world? In the end, I will give it to my friend. I am grateful to think twice about my values. Sorry, it’s time to say good-bye. Lotto—

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

Come to the garden in spring

by Meviana Jalaluddin Rumi

Come to the garden in spring
There’s wine and sweethearts in the pomegranate blossoms.
If you do not come, these do not matter.
If you do come, these do not matter.

Dad

You’re always ther to lend a hand
To listen and to understand
It helps to know you’re by my side
Never judging, full of pride.
You’re ever-ready(never waver)
With a hug, a lift, a favour
a chat, a loan, a joke, a smile
You always go the extra mile.
You’re an oak, a rock, a beam
The centre forward of our team
A coach, a mentor and good sport
An inspiration and support.
So thank you Dad for all you do
And mostly, thanks for being you

MUM

You’re the comfort of a blanket
You’re the message on a phone
You’re the stamp on a letter
You’re the welcome feel of home
You’re the the safety of a seatbelt
You’re the answers to a test
You’re the blossom in the springtime
You’re the feathers in a nest
You’re the topping on a pizza
You’re the rhythm in a jive
You’re the caffeine in a coffee
You’re the queen bee in a hive
You’re the ticket to a movie
You’re the rays of the sun
You’re the thought behind a present
and… a VERY PRECIOUS MUM!

I’m Only a Cat

by Unknown

I’m only a cat,
and I stay in my place…
Up there on your chair,
on your bed or your face!

I’m only a cat,
and i don’t finick much.
I’m happy with cream
and anchovies and such!

I’m only a cat,
and we’ll get along fire…

As long as you know
I’m not yours…
you’re all mine!

The Road Not Taken

by Robert Frost

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 kept 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.

Spring breeze!

What’s your feeling? I feel a lot better today. What will happen today? I memorize a poem every week. Not only does it take years off you, it makes you look and feel good. Enjoy the rest of your day! Good luck!
