Ambassador of Goodwill

Ambassador of goodwill
A smile is all you wield
A warrior without a sword
Who will protect you
From bullies of sorts and sizes
You pretend to wear an armor
And carry an invisible shield
But sometimes
The hurt is too much to hide
As arrows graze your heart

While vultures see vulnerability
Simple minded naiveté
Many commend you in silence
For you would do anything
To elicit a smile
To bring warmth to a heart
Still a smile is all you wield
Radiant from beauty within
