Only Now Is Promised

nothing awakens love, and the soul, like forgetting destiny is cruel to those who forget moments are fleeting fate never promises a future, not to anyone, especially to those who neglect appreciating the gifts the universe bestows upon them pay attention, always pay attention, this moment is the only promise that will be kept to you

Cindy, Very nice message in this poem. Many would sell there tomorrows for a taste of yesterday, and I am one. What's in a promise kept? All who forget destiny is cruel, and all who wonder under the sun. -Richard

Indeed! Thanks for sharing this. It's my prayer that you'll claim God's promise of love He has assured to those who trust Him as John 3:16 of the Bible says: John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Cindy, it was wise to reiterate this "pay attention, always pay attention," because it made me pay attention.
