Wordplay

I discovered this by accident, when jotting down some notes for recording a song of mine called ''Mona Lisa Smile'':

Write down, in lower-case, the words ''SMILES'' and ''SMITES''. (Either printed, or in cursive; doesn't matter.)

The only difference between the two is the un-crossed ''T''. Which means that if you're in a hurry (as I was), and write "SMILES", you're like to reflexively cross the ''L'', turning it into a ''T'' -- completely changing the meaning, of course.

Is there some deeper meaning here?
