Shield

A shield surrounds the heart Not a shield of iron, but a shield of hope Some are weaker than others Some are undeveloped and forgotten The forgotten are weak, lonely, and vulnerable When something strikes the shield the shield blocks the strike But a weak shield can have trouble blocking these strikes But not all hope is lost for a weakened shield They can be brought back to strength With the help of others the shield can be revived But be weary not all strikes can be blocked Even the strongest have their own weaknesses
