"I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep". Robert Frost. Do YOU have promises to keep before YOU sleep?

The poem is "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening".

Here's another few lines from another favorite of mine by Thomas Gray from "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard"

"Full many a flower is born to blush unseen and waste its sweetness on the desert air". Are you wasting your sweetness? Why, how and where?

    That means our responsibilities to others. Yes I do have responsibilities.  The second one I don't know the rest of the poem but I would say it has to do with our being able to appreciate what is "sweet" - or anything else good - in others.  Which many people don't .
