I found a penny today
laying on the ground.
But it's not just a penny,
this little coin I've found.
Found pennies come from heaven,
that's what my Grandpa told me.
He said Angels toss them down,
Oh, how I loved that story.
He said when an Angel misses you,
they toss a penny down;
Sometimes just to cheer you up,
to make a smile out of a frown.
So don't pass by that penny
when you're feeling blue.
It may just be a penny from h eaven
that an Angel's tossed to you.
We've all come upon many pennies on the ground as we're walking. Most times people will just walk over them as if they are nothing. I"ve read this poem many times and now as I see a penny I always lean over to pick it up. It may seem silly to think of it as being an Angel that misses us or is thinking of us but the thought is comforting. I have many loved ones in heaven that I hope would be thinking of me.
Just thought I'd share that little tidbit with you. You can think of pennies on the ground in a different light.

I always pick up pennies on the ground. I'm glad to hear it could be an angel watching over me to cheer me up.....Love it!
