Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
………………………………………
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth:
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 shall ever come back.

do that?

Answer:
The two roads indicate the choices one makes in life. The poet has presented the dilemma that one goes through while taking a decision regarding one's future. Man faces such dilemma as he is afraid of making the wrong choice which could have far reaching consequences.
In a sense, the speaker is trying to convince himself that he took the right road. However, the fact that the speaker is still thinking about the other road is an indication that he will forever have a doubt. He thinks about a future time when he will look back at his decision with a sigh of regret as he thinks of the opportunities he may have lost by not taking the other road.
"The Road Not Taken" , is about making choices in life and difference they make in our life. Since we have only one life to live and we cannot possibly have and do everything in life, it is really very important to make choices judiciously and once we have made them, we must stick to them and do all we can to achieve what we want to achieve in life.
