The Faith Road

Triolet

There are only two roads of life

"I took the one less traveled by"

Upon this road there is less strife

 

There are only two roads of life

On the faith road there's no wildlife

'Pon the carnal road life can go awry

 

There are only two roads of life

"I took the one less traveled by"

 

 

Author's Note

The line "I took the one less traveled by" is a direct quote from Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken"...Sara

The big question in life that often seems so small until years later, which road to take. A truly wonderful poem.

Emily,

Thanks so much for your review of my work..I enjoy Frost's work in general and this one in particular also..I was challenged to write a poem using a line from one of Frost's poems so that is how this came into being..

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the title was, the road less traveled, the reason for that is Faith, for me is surrendering myself and taking a chance for the greater good. the funny thing about this is all my life I've traveled on faith so to speak and when I look back I wonder how I made through all those trials a tribulations and I'm still here to tell it, so I look at this piece as food for thought.
Thank you for sharing.

Mauricio,

Thanks for stopping by..Your comments are greatly appreciated..When we look back at life, sometimes we wonder for a minute or two how we made it but then we remember Who was there with us and that explains it all..Sara
