Heres a virtual movie of Robert Frost reading probably his best known poem "The Road not taken".
This wise little poem conveys a simple philosophy common to us all that of sometimes being different or choosing todo the unusual for sometimes through the process of Serendipity "Happy chance" the unusual can lead us onto better more enjoyable fulfilling things.Robert Frost first published this poem in 1916 and originaly it was a simple satire on a walking partner fellow poet English poet Edward Thomas (1978 - 1916)who often mused over what would happen if they took different paths.

The road not taken......
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.

you all don´t really get it, the two roads stand for a final decision of life that has to be made and he will not know at anytime whether his decison to take the road less traveled by was a good or a bad decision, but he will remember this moment in the future and he will sigh, because he doesnn´t know whether it was the better decision.
Frost wrote this making fun of a friend of his. I mean you can take it as you want it, but even Frost said this poem has no deeper meaning that just him making fun of his friend,
do not try to tell me what a poem means. they are for your enjoyment, what this poem means to me is none of your business, and for me to tell you how you should feel after reading this poem well, that is just silly...read it for your own meaning.
I think you are missing the point that both paths are "about the same" and "equally lay" ready for wear. There is no difference to be explored. He is poking fun at his friend and people like him who go on and on about what could have been, etc. I love that people use this as an "inspirational" poem when it is quite sarcastic.
at the end of the road he hopelessly or with resignation knows that whatever road he choose the end is the same, or he fool himself to think that what choice he made could change the end.
