Penny Memories

 
Dad said this about the penny
Have one in your pocket to touch
You will never, ever be broke
Times, I have existed on the penny

Have one in your pocket to touch
I have many in various vessels
Times, I have existed on the penny
One day, I paid for my bus fare

I have many in various vessels
The church seems to like my pennies
One day, I paid for my bus fare
Pennies remind me of what Dad said

The church seems to like my pennies
You will never, ever be broke
Pennies remind me of what Dad said
Dad said that about the penny
