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 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 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.
