The Road Not Taken


                                                                                   Robert Frost



                                                                     Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
                                                                        And sorry I could not travel both
                                                                        And be one traveler, long I stood

       Maybe Mentors or Coaches will want to learn                   To where it bent in the undergrowth;

       from each other to be successful in building
       sustainable clubs. Then I realized that I didn’t                Then took the other, as just as fair,
       want to just start these teams, I wanted to be                And having perhaps the better claim,
       in them as well, practicing mentoring skills,                Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

       finishing Pathways levels, seeing what the                     Though as for that the passing there
       teams are learning about leadership by doing                 Had worn them really about the same,
       it and talking about it.
          Thinking about how much it would all take,                   And both that morning equally lay

       I see that I am at a fork in my road—not enough                In leaves no step had trodden black.
       time to go down both paths. After much                         Oh, I kept the first for another day!
       struggling about what the better one would be,                Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
       I am choosing the mentoring, teambuilding,                    I doubted if I should ever come back.

       instead of the PQD role. I have talked with                      I shall be telling this with a sigh
       my fellow Trio members. They are on board.                      Somewhere ages and ages hence:

       path too?                                                     And that has made all the difference.
          I look forward to this year’s travels!
