I found a penny today and remembered this, it made me smile again, i can picture my dad reciting this once when i found a penny on the path.
(God how i wish i could be that happy little girl again if only for a few moments)
I found a penny today
just laying on the ground,
but it's not just a penny
this little coin i've found.
Found pennies come from heaven
that's what my dad told me,
He said the angels toss them down
Oh, how i loved that story.
He said when an angel misses you
they toss a penny down,
Sometimes just to cheer you up
to make a smile out of your frown.
So don't pass by that penny
when you're feeling blue,
it may be a penny from heaven
that an angels tossed down to you.
