Joanne Liaw Poet Rhyme

Daring Greatly

Dedicated to my counsellor, Ann Gunapalan

I was once a little girl in the closet
My shame, I wanted to conceal and forget
I’ve come a long way and I thank God for you
For wholehearted empathy that rings true

Thank you for coaching me in the arena
For helping me face my wounds and trauma
For helping me embrace vulnerability
For showing me what it means to dare greatly

I see vulnerability at the cross
When Christ chose to embrace shame for the lost
He’s taken our guilt and shame; we are now free
Free to love with wholehearted empathy

I was once a little girl in the closet
My shame, I wanted to conceal and forget
I’m still a little girl, but now without shame
For in Jesus Christ, I have a new name
