Rev. Dr. Sam Davis Recessional Pallbearers Classmates and Friends of the Family Flower Bearers Classmates and Friends of the Family The Road Less Traveled 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 ju st 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 back. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted i f I could ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and /... I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Ety: Robert Frost Acknowledgements The Family thank each of you so very much for all your love, prayer and other acts of kindness shown them during their time of sorrow.
