Our Memory work for this term

I've been trying to find a poem, passage, or work to have dd7 work on memorizing this term. Many wonderful ladies have given their opinions and I love hearing what others are doing. A part of me wanted to let her choose which she'd learn, yet this being her first work I wanted to set a firm foundation for her. Our preacher preached a wonderful sermon this morning about being at a crossroads. Daily, in our Christian walk we have to choose which path we will take. We choose the path of the world which is wide and full of others we know. Or we choose the path of Christ which is narrow, hard, and sometimes lonely. I'm sure you can figure out where I'm headed now...here is the poem we've decided to work on this term.
ROAD LESS TRAVELED
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 onto 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 took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference
