In my old life I used to have the last lines repeating though my head when I was up at 3am, pack marching, and it suits me now during the mother-of-young-kids phase, on those days when I'm exhausted and still battling on....<br /><br />But my all time favorite is Kipling's "If".The Accidental Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12903019781422765851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780031148561095801.post-87497206737909625342012-03-10T05:08:48.266-08:002012-03-10T05:08:48.266-08:00I love that poem.

That you do have to choose, but sometimes you can backtrack. That it is okay to travel one path.<br /><br />The last line still confuses me. *sighs* Poetry is ever a challenge of comprehension for me.<br /><br />Great choice!Eccentricesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350166822047688150noreply@blogger.com
