A Penny’s Worth

“A Penny’s Worth”

A penny lay in plain sight on the parking lot floor.

My eyes did spy it, and my mind did implore.

“Pick it up pick it up, my mind did say.

“A penny in your pocket you may need it someday.”

So I picked up the penny and dusted it off.

I looked at its manufacture date and got ready to scoff.

However it was minted in 1926, of the rare “S” series.

It was worth $150,000, it was a king among pennies!

With tender tears I put the penny slowly into my pocket.

And quietly thanked God for making sure I was the one who got it.
