Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-<br /> I took the one less traveled by, <br /> And that has made all the difference. <br /> -Robert Frost


The moments I see a child's smile,

I find their eyes, oh so infantile,

Teasing,

Remember where you belong;

 

The minutes I hear joyous conversation,

Echoes soon reveal a chaotic congregation

Chanting,

Remember where you belong;

 

The hours I feel a blissful warmth,

Chilling winds come rushing forth

Screeching,

Remember where you belong;

 

The days I find a ray of sunlight,

Clouds cover into grey twilight

Whispering,

Remember where you belong;

 

The months I enjoy before nature withers,

A snake smirks as it slithers

Hissing,

Remember where you belong;

 

I can only swim, for so long

Beneath this ocean, any light is wrong

So I drown in the darkness, my heart a gong

With my last breath, I sing a song:

I know where I belong;
