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.

LOVE ME NOW WHILE I CAN KNOW

"If you're ever going to love me, love me now while I can know.
All the sweet and tender feelings which from real affection flow.

Love me now, while I'm living; do not wait 'til I am gone.
And then chisel it on marble - words on ice, cold stone.

If you have dear sweet thoughts about me. Why not whisper them to me?
Don't you know it would make me happy and as glad as glad could be?

If you wait until I'm sleeping, never to awaken here again,
there will be walls of earth between us and couldn't hear you then.

I won't need your kind caresses when the grass grows over my face.
I won't crave your love or kisses in my last low resting place.

So then, if you love me any, if it's but a little bit.
Let me know while I am living, so I can own it treasure it."

A THOUSAND SILENT TIMES EACH DAY

By Michael A. Taylor

A thousand silent times each day

I speak to you, my Sweet.

In a thousand unwitnessed ways

I demonstrate my love.

All day my thoughts accompany you 

Beside, behind, in front of you.

Unguessed by you 

I study and delight in you.

And, maybe sometimes sensed by you - 

Though you conclude it is the wind - 

It is I who disturbs your hair, 

And lightly, so lightly, kisses you.

LONELINESS

Being alone I felt the gloom,
but deep in my heart sadness has no room.
When I am in doubt of what is happening to me,
I just bend my knees and start to pray.
I prayed to Yahweh to make me strong.
Save my soul from being wrong.

Prayed so hard to Yahweh to stay.
Never leave my side anytime of day. 
I prayed to Yahweh with all my heart,
that from loneliness I must depart.
Pray that our children remembers us.
May they be reminded of the pasts.
Oh my children I love you so.
I really wanted to be with you.
But in my remaining years I have to know,
if being by myself I still can grow.
My wayward ways I put to rest.
Now I am ready for the final test.
To face my challenge till the end,

with somebody that Yahweh did send.
