You Can't Reverse The Words

Your words, once spoken, can't be taken back,
Like footprints left behind on life's long track.
The way you treat others shapes who you'll be,
Your actions build your future.

You might fool me, or them, or even us,
But there's One above who knows what's just.
No matter how you try to explain,
The hurt you've caused will still remain.

Live your life, but please be kind,
Don't make others feel so small.
We all deserve to be happy,
To feel valued, even for a while.

It's not too late to change your ways,
To bring more light to others' days.
Heal the wounds, make amends, start anew,
A kinder world begins with you.
