Change for the better

Do you know what I dreamed last night?

Two paths opened in front of me,

one dark and winding

and the other bright and flowery.

I chose what seemed easiest to me.

It's always like that, isn't it?

We always take the easy way out,

but it doesn't always lead us to happiness.

Halfway through I regretted my decision.

The smell of the flowers became sickening,

But I didn't dare to turn back.

I knocked on Heaven's door

and an old man appeared with a set of keys.

I immediately saw that was Saint Peter.

- What are you doing here, sinful soul?

You have no entry here.

- Mr. Saint Peter, I come from Earth

and there I only did good.

- You don't fool me,

so many scammers came here

to knock on the door

I had the CCTV system installed.

I see everything that's going on down there.

I saw that you treated your parents badly,

you tried to cheat your brothers.

Don't miss an opportunity

to harm others.

Your heart is full of envy and revenge.

Everyone here is good.

Successfully earned

the Certificate of Achievement and Recognition,

bestowed by the Master.

- Please let me in,

I'm not old enough to go to school anymore.

- You are wrong,

there is no age to stop studying,

we are always learning

and as we learn we change

because we improve ourselves.

Did you think this day wouldn't come?

The dream ended before I could respond,

but it left me inspired to make me a better person!
