Robert Frost Poem

In Robert Frost's Poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening he speaks of a forest that he stop by in the evening. I think that even though this poem is short, it has an important meaning to him. It seems to me like he was considering suicide, but then decided that he had to keep on going in life. The way he spoke of the woods was like he was so at peace there and it was so beautiful and calm, he just wanted to stay there and let his life end at that point. But when he says "But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep." It's like he decides to keep moving forward, that other people depend on him and he has to keep his promises to them, that he still has a long time before his life is over.

I chose this poem because it reminded me somewhat of my great great grandma who passed away two years ago at the age of one hundred one. She also could have let go at any point. When she broke her hip by simply falling down, when she was bed bound for the remainder of her life, when she became blind and almost completely deaf, but for some reason she held on. Perhaps she had promises of her own to keep.
