on the way to school
the small boy walked
on the sidewalk going to school
lost in thoughts of his lunch
which had his favorite dessert
he kicked a stone closer to school now
but something bright and shiny
caught his eye and he picked it up
a brand new penny shining in the sun
yes, it is a good day
and skipped the rest of the way

Tender, sweet, beatiful.

wish all the underpriviledged children of the world would find this bright penny - a happy image placed in my mind

some one lost that..some one picking that...the day also being skipped..all happens in the fate of life...nice one.

Life can be full of unexpected gifts if we are awake to them and don't expect too much, if only we can continue to appreciate the blessings that shine on our path...

Beautifully written, Carol. A friend of mine just sent me a message: God is like a coin. You can spend it any which way you like.. But you can only spend it once... And now I come to your poem and this boy finds "a brand new penny shining in the sun". Rather strange coincidence. Thanks for sharing. Blessings. Leonard

Hey I think that was me just yesterday! Well, it's more than a half century of yesterdays but close enough as pleasant memories go!

At that very young age,that made a day,that much better,in finding a brand new shiny coin. Nice poem Carol!
