Illegitimate birth,
Secrets kept,
Family rejection and disdain.
The Shawl is heavily adorned.
Sexual abuse keeps the Shawl in place,
Suffocating freedom and life,
Hiding the real person underneath.
Sexual sin and pride then tighten its fit,
Creating guilt and a desire to hide.
Darkness fills the future...
Then LOVE breaks through.
The perfect sacrifice lifts the Shawl.
Forgiveness and New Life are adorned in its place.
Followed by garments of Joy and Praise.
Freedom is now within reach.
God's purpose lived out,
God's name lifted up.
The Shawl of Shame adorns no more.
