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 slee
p

Reason i posted this is because I also have certain promises to keep, not to anyone else but some commitments which I made to myself, some gaols which i set for myself. This poem is one of my fav's and I will always try to remember the last phrase and just keep going with comviction and confidence in my life.
