I wrote in my journal the other day “We just need to be brave Pauline Tai, we just need to be brave”.
You know, whatever happens to me, I just hope that my heart remains brave and bold. When my heart is brave, I can come before the Father and know that I am accepted. When it is brave, I can come before men and be who I am without apologizing. When it is brave, it can look in the face of defeat, no matter how great, and stand up. When the heart is brave….when the heart is brave. When the heart is brave, it gets on the roller coaster, disregards the empty chest feeling, and tastes the adventure. When the heart is brave, it smells the ocean air and breathes the salty sea and lives the life it was meant to lead.
Oh when the heart is brave
when the heart is brave
when the heart is brave
when the heart is brave
When the heart is brave, it emerges from the den it has built
leaves the cozy nest of solitude
and bares its chest wide open
not foolishly
but vulnerably
to be scorned, maybe
rejected, probably
to be loved,
definitely
and the last of these, the greatest.
defeating the pain, if only you’d be bold
to wait until the end
to experience the promise you were told
would come to those who would trust
trusting in strong hands to repair the broken
it does not recoil from the ugly,
it waits until the morning
does not cower from the process
but stands boldly
a declaration of freedom that
everyone has been waiting for but no one dares admit
when the heart is brave
