The accolades of yesterday’s heroes <br />slowly fade with the ravages of time. <br />Stories of their glory days get distorted <br />as they’re passed down by word of mouth. <br /> <br />Their contributions are overshadowed <br />by the rise of today’s young superstars. <br />And as today’s stars surpass their records, <br />a piece of that legend dies there and then. <br /> <br />But when today surrenders to tomorrow, <br />their superstars will be yesterday’s heroes; <br />And tomorrow’s highly regarded prospects <br />will wear the crown worn by today’s heroes.<br /><br />Michael Fischer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-accolades-of-yesterday-s-heroes/
