Shining Pennies

To trust in others, yourself and life each day Can be a difficult task when led astray To remember, to look at the moon in the dark And have courage with all there is to embark To believe in falling stars, there are to be seen Through black nights where they may glean Takes faith while standing in this creation Walked upon, with a given choice of elation Bearing the turbulence, bound to endure All part of life, still things remain pure Never forget, what is simple most of all Gifts like shining pennies, seen when we crawl Heidi Sands 9/28/18

Life in all its forms is precious. God who has made all gives us the courage, strength, and the power to face what ever comes our way every day. The pennies from heaven are so we don't forget to watch where we are walking. Good poem.
