Today when I was riding my bike home from work I had to stop for a red light. I looked down and there it was: a little 1982 penny, looking right at me, as to say, "Hey, Love, I'm thinking of you." Pennies are special to me because after my first love, Dan, died I was so sad. It was 3 weeks before my birthday and moving to Sudbury to start college. After, Dan, died and I found this poem I started a jar to collect his pennies in. I keep it on my dresser.
Pennies from Heaven
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 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
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 tossed to you
