If I Were a Penny and You Were a Pound

If I were a penny and you were a pound I'd prove myself to you I'd pick tons of me up off of the ground Until I was a pound too If you were a paper and I was a pen I'd write until you were filled I'd write down some secrets now and then I'd let the stories be spilled If you were the sun and I was the moon I'd fly around the Earth I'd go around Every Afternoon Until you knew your worth

Hello CS Rose, I would find a penny and keep it for good luck. As of today I still have those pennies. One on a chain.Paper i would fill you up with words to read and reread. I love the last verse. Have a nice day my friend.
