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 AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted for CONTEST NO.390 sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - January 23, 2018
