"you never know"

You never know

what one smile can do,

it can bring a person the places

they are going to.

Or, it can stop someone

from making a mistake,

sending them off

 with happiness in their wake.

You never know

what one comment can do,

what months of progress 

you just caused to undo.

Or, it can bring a needed smile

giving someone a break 

from hell for a while.

So please, I ask you,

watch what you say,

because it's all in good cheer,

until it's not fun and games.
