Poem from heaven -shiny penny on pavement

Pennies from Heaven

Poem1 min read

Remember this every time you pass a little penny in the parking lot. I always thought it was for Good Luck, but I like this version better.

— Author Unknown

I found a penny today Just 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 I’ve been told, By Angels watching over us From their clouds of gold.

When an Angel thinks of you They toss a penny down, Sometimes just to cheer you up To make a smile from your frown.

So don’t pass by that penny When you’re feeling blue, It may be a penny from heaven That an Angel’s tossed to you.

“In God We Trust” is not a phrase Just printed on a penny, It’s something to remember When your troubles seem like many.

So when you’re down and it seems Your life has a blue tint, That penny on a sidewalk May be truly “heaven-cent.”
