When you are told you can’t.
Life takes a much different slant.
Inside you know that there is hope.
You cannot stop because of 'nope.'
Let the positive energy from within
Shine brightly; courageously begin.
Inadequate praise is now being replaced.
Approval and success are now embraced.
Now you can praise the day you were rejected.
You have achieved more than anyone expected.
You have been motivated to show your talent.
The applause confirms your efforts were gallant.
