A penny for your thoughts

That Little Penny In The Parking Lot




Remember this every time you pass that little penny in the parking lot. I always thought that it was for good luck, but I love this version better.




I found a penny today


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 Grandpa told me.


He said 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 Angel’s tossed to you..


I love the above poem.  When I was a little kid, my grandmother and I would walk from my house to my aunt’s house.  Along the way she asked me to keep my eyes peeled for coins.  We’d always find something.  Now, I seem to find coins everyday, and I know it’s my abuelita smiling down on me.  James
