Because life is lived from day to day. Because two roads diverged, in a yellow wood. Because sunflowers simply dance and pointed me on my way.
Because there was no more to say. Because I chose the one less traveled, after I had stood. Because life is lived from day to day.
Because I knew I could find my way. Because down one path I looked, as far as I could. Because sunflowers simply danced and pointed me on my way.
Because I knew quiet would help me pray. Because to see the other path I longed, but doubted that I would. Because life is lived from day to day.
Because the meadow smells of a rainy day. Because all the difference that has been implied, cannot be understood. Because sunflowers simply danced and pointed me on my way.
The things I saw I saw today. Because after Frost I had read, I found myself in the wood. Because life is lived from day to day. Because sunflowers simply danced and pointed me on my way.

About this poem:
Fun little poem I wrote one day because I had Frost's poem in my head lol
I love sunflowers, they are so big, but I'm not feeding them to my squirrels any more, the shells make a mess after awhile, I do have some sunflowers in my planter I grew from seed, they won't do much though, not enough soil or light, nice poem!

By line two I could see the influence of Robert Frost's "A Road Not Taken". Such a profound poem and you have run with the thoughts so well. Nicely done.
