No More Promises Poem by Akhtar Jawad

No More Promises

Rating: 5.0


If you want to improve one's tomorrow
start it from one's today.
To improve tomorrow is merely a promise for the future,
but if one's today is so much painful
that one closes his eyes,
one is already dreaming a beautiful tomorrow,
one's dreams are better for one than that of yours,
touch his heart without any further delay,
so that one opens his closed eyes,
finds a friend to heal his wounds,
one needs your help and your relieving words,
right now when one is in a deadly pain,
tomorrow never comes,
do it right now,
no promises no more delay.
Everything has a beauty hidden in it
The hidden beauty of a lovely friend
are his immediate helping hands
or at least a few words of sympathy
that may reduce one's pains.
No more promises
no more assurance of a bright future,
no more promises.
As a friend you know
one's wounds are due to the broken promises.

Extend a helping hand to someone in need right now- 'tomorrow never comes', Thanks a lot. one needs your help and your relieving words, right now when one is in a deadly pain, no more assurance of a bright future, one's wounds are due to the broken promises.

Extending a helping hand today is better than a promise of future help. A word of love is better than a lengthy promise of a bright future. Again and again it holds true! Again and again we forget and overlook. Thank you for a wonderful poetic reminder.

Never prolong to render needed help to someone in trouble! Our timely action will ease out his pain to a great extent! We are not sure if he will be available tomorrow to receive our help! Procrastination of action hinders progress! A stitch in time saves nine...! So if we find someone in trouble, help him today itself! Great message!
