Time Traveler

One night, at midnight he came to me,
    Telling me it’s time to leave.
    What he is offering will place the world at my disposal,
    My life will be much greater if I accept his proposal

    But he will give me an opportunity, to play a game of chess,
    The price at stake was my life or success.
    The rules are fair, if I take the dare.
    But if I lose I had to choose.
    I had to play the queen, and if I win his time machine,
    He will bid me goodnight, and my future will be bright.

    Rule1: Go back to your past, changed all your mistakes,
            There is no in between breaks.

   Rule 2: He gives me only one day to rewrite my history,
              To claim victory. 

   Rule 3: Next I had to go to the future, 
              To see what I changed in my past, if it still last.

   Rule 4: Come back to the present,
            
    And tell him do I deserves to go to hell or heaven.
    When I woke up from this nightmare, definitely not a dream,
    I know it was time to take every moment to live in my present,
   Spread kindness and love to secure a place in heaven.
