The applause sign is on...

Well Done

If you did it on your own
You decided to all along
If you ignored what other said
And trusted your own head
Well Done

If you stuck to your guns
Followed through on your own convictions
If you dismissed the little puns
And saw through the contradictions
Well Done

If you persevered
Conquered what you feared
If you admitted your defeats
But carried on despite these beats
If you fell flat on your face
But did so with honesty and grace
Well done

If you failed again and again
But kept learning and moving on
If you never thought you'd win
But rose before each dawn
If you still can't get it right
But refuse to drop out of the fight
Well done

When it finally comes together
And you know its never done
Though nothing lasts forever
And no victory is ever won
If you reach the point and peak
That you set your path to seek
If you ever make it there
And those below just mock and stare
If you breath the high, thin air
So clean, so pure, so rare
Well done

If you can listen to such praise
And not alter your virtuous ways
If you refuse to bow or bend
Because these words are not the end
Well done...
