The Silent Ones

The Silent Ones


We need to
look around to see
what is out there
besides our oversized egos.

All of us
expects everyone else
to congratulate ourselves
on the minute achievements.

However, there are some people
who need the congratulations.
They work so hard on an achievement.
They put blood and sweat—
maybe tears into it.

We need to look for them
because that
there aren't many of
those kind of achievers any longer.
