Going To the Store
An elderly man smiled at me today
his face so round and merry,
It filled my heart so full of joy
my day no longer weary.
He had no idea what his smile had done
to warm my heart completely,
and so on down the isle he went
with his bags tucked in so neatly.
His smile still bright and charming
as he walked on out the door,
What a nice day this turned out to be
just going to the store.
Its amazing how a simple gesture
can brighten up ones day,
If you see a stranger, smile at them,
for kindness goes along way.
