you deserve a standing ovation

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
