if no one
has ever said this to you
you deserve
a standing ovation
that’s right
a whole crowd of people
standing for you
putting their hands together
and saying with words and sounds
we are so proud of you
you inspire us
you deserve this
so please stand
and let us clap
because today
we
honor
you
_______
if a standing ovation
never came
if that’s not what you want
then create and write
because the spirit of the world
will then be clapping
to say
what an act of
courage
