See a penny, pick her up <br />and all the day you'll have good luck <br />If instead she makes you frown <br />place her gently upon the ground <br /> <br />If I had a penny for your thoughts <br />would she be tarnished or good as new <br />with starry shimmer or golden hue <br />dented or dull or as delightful as you <br /> <br />Would she weigh light upon my palm <br />or burden to hold inside the hand <br />Cold to touch and soon to numb <br />or impart a tender warmth and calm <br /> <br />Her symbols etched, what would they spell <br />Your deepest secrets, would they foretell <br />Your every single hope and dream <br />I'll cast for you into the wishing well <br /> <br />If I had a penny, for all your thoughts <br />I'd polish them pure until they shined <br />build a castle of love divine <br />to keep you safe till the end of time<br /><br />Leonard Snow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-penny-for-your-thoughts-4/
