A Pile of Pennies

A pile of pennies built strong love,
Childhood memories so sweet,
As they look down from above,
Helped make me feel complete.

Childhood memories so sweet,
Playing Rumoli using the penny,
Helped make me feel complete,
Laughter grew from so many.

Playing Rumoli using the penny,
Summer was a bonding time,
Laughter grew from so many,
Family dinners so sublime.

Summer was a bonding time,
As they look down from above,
Family dinners so sublime,
A pile of pennies built strong love.
