Promise

Promise is a mind-gladdening assurance That sets one thinking it an insurance Also,heart-quickening, Until its non fulfillment makes it sickening... Either of two things is sure to befall it: The second by all means hurting a bit; The first, of course, its redemption by maker The second, unforeseen circumstance snatching it from taker! With made promises are a suspension of bustle and bustle And relaxation of every body muscle; A gratuitous delay in getting into ones stride, A female hopeful soon thinking herself a bride. Rarely for broken promises people hang; Just fleeting glum looks inviting no bang Or inner battling with inglorious shame And reasonable belief it should never be the same.
