MY LUCKY PENNY

I found a shiny penny, new—
I found it while waiting for you!

That penny brought me LUCK, you see;
Found ir while you were here with me!

And even though times now are rough,
I’ve kept it bright within my stuff!

It tells me not to be so sad;
that life is not espec'ially bad.

And so, I cling to penny, bright,
and wait for coming morning light!
