I remember my Dad reciting a poem to me many times when I was a youngster.  I have been searching for it for years without success.  I happened upon this forum and possibly someone may recognize it and help me to find it.  I believe that the author may be unknown---not sure.  I do not remember the exact words but, maybe I can come close enough:

In the morning when I wake,
two roads before me lie.
I do not know which road to take,
for either I must try.

One is the road to ?????
And those who travel there????
????????????

I think it had four verses?

That's all I can recall.  Hope someone will recognize it and help me find it.

Thank you so much,

Will

I guess I'm a bit late on this because I don't come in this forum too much but all I could think of is the one by Robert Frost called The Road Not Taken

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.
