Wonderful, marvelous, peaceful, silence

The sounds one gets used to, are now spent

Like many of the rewards of life one earns

As we accumulate all the good returns ...



Investing time dedicating self to a project

It may not be worth much, but has your own respect

And provided it's genuine, and given quite freely

Then the silence of the return, is the golden trophy
