My Lucky Penny

Walking down the street,
Just another day to me,
Clear sky, cool breeze, warm day,
That's when I see it,

A penny on the ground,
Not all that new,
I pick it up and dust it off,
It's heads up,

The penny isn't shiny,
The penny has a story,
It has its own light,
Its own brilliance,

It's not perfect,
But it's beautiful,
It has endurance,
It has history,

I don't know its story,
But know where it is,
I'll keep it safe,
Keep it close, save it,

Its different,
Not like any other,
I'll always keep it,
It makes me happy,

I feel safe,
I feel happy,
I feel warmth,
I feel cherished,

This penny I've found,
Its important to me,
I'll never let go,
Its brought me happiness,

Happiness I've never known,
Happiness I thought impossible,
Happiness restored,
Wounds healed,

This penny,
Is my precious penny,
My perfectly imperfect,
Lucky Penny.
