Timothy Mattson Poet Quatrain

All the Cheers

Youthful days yield to elder nights,
    Quiet and solemn to reflect.
Seldom are the loud acknowledgements,
    That deafened the few, who would reject.

While memory often discounts the present,
    With repeated visions of accolades.
It can't forget a current record, that
    Has surpassed all the barricades.

Here, silent achievement, allows for 
    Inherent pride some glitter and glow.
Where today's accomplishments are seen by few,
    Yet will mentor those, that choose to follow.
