Silver Pennies

The sun shone bright upon the lake
The water all a-shimmer.
Dazzling in it's beauty,
It sparkled and it glimmered.

Glinting lights all around
Danced before my eyes.
It seemed a million silver pennies
Had fallen from the sky.

All across the lake they played
In frivolous delight.
Twinkling as they made their way,
In a kaleidoscope of light.
