The Shopping Trip

About a month ago I took a trip to Omaha For an appointment On the days that I Have an appointment I don't generally shop Lack of time and energy When I mentioned that I'd like to shop a little The person that I get To drive me for the trip Agreed to drive again just to shop The trip was scheduled for yesterday On the way to Omaha There were other passengers We all got to talking And laughing and joking The day was so much fun. Now I know a trip to the city In story doesn't say a lot And I wouldn't even bother to mention Except, We found a little craft store Signs in the window Said going out of business Everything Must Go 50 - 80% discount Even this part of the story Probably has few Spellbound But I found a favorite thing A sign with a sentiment I'm sure I've heard before But this time seemed Not so easy to ignore You see this precious sign Speaks little, but says much "Let your smile change the world, But never let the world change your smile."
