Signs...

I walked and  I walked.
I found a fork in the road.
I had a choice left or right.
To the left it looked like paradise.
It was sunny,the birds were singing.Beautiful flowers.
Roses,Carnations..
Everything you could want.
To the right there was rough terrain.
A forest and it was cloudy,cold and rainy.
I went left.
I traveled the road of paradise.
I thought how fortunate I was.
There was food and wine.
Beautiful maidens singing.Dressed in white and blue dresses with white shoes to match.
There were signs everywhere.
Go straight ahead.
Real paradise awaits.
There were beautiful mansions
I kept following the signs.
Finally I approach the last sign.
I had a 1/4 mile to go.
I walked the 1/4 mile and hit a dead end.
I turned to go back.
But it was all black,empty.
I read it all wrong.
I should have went right.
I was duped.
I guess the motto of this story is,
Be careful how you read the signs of life.
Even if they appear to seem right.
They aren't always.
