What might be, depends on you and me

If we were to smile at the stranger with

Strife expressed in their face

What might be is a moment of warmth

 From someone who really cared

You pick up a piece of trash thrown on the ground

What might be is a child watching you and a seed has

Been planted in their mind that the earth can be clean

There is a stranger with tears steaming down their face

And you reach out and give them a loving embrace,

What might be is a pause in sadness

And the stranger realizes they are not alone

A mentally challenged persons smiles from ear to ear

You reach out and shake their hand

What might be is an example to others that they are

People with feelings just like you and me

Just keep in mind of what might be when give out the positive  

And eliminate the negative
