Who's Your Penny

One happens upon a penny, lucky, and passes it by without thought then wonders why the years slid by not finding what one sought. Now.. this penny could be a woman This penny could be a man This penny could be an acquaintance This penny could be a friend One happens upon a penny, lucky, and places it into their hand then treats it as a treasured gift and blooms as joy expands © Debra Squyres

Like thoughts we sometimes don't expound. A penny, sometimes can't be found. For it is hidden beneath the dirt. And joy can't live where there's only hurt. I like Tim's comment much better. :) Bty. Welcome back to this realm of existence. Hope to have you stick around. Peace. :)
