Miles to Go Before I Sleep

It's Snowing!!!!
 I love it and wish my woods would really fill up with snow.
   There is something about watching snow fall that gives me pause and fills me with peace.
I am grateful for "promises to keep" - promises give me hope and purpose and meaning.
  A reason to push on - with "miles to go before I sleep".

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village, though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound's the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,

But I have promises to keep

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.
--Robert Frost
