My heart for a nickel the beggar said, Just enough to get home and to buy me some bread. My heart for a penny the little child said, Just enough for some candy, and a pillow for my head. My heart for a nickel the old woman said, Just enough to get better, buy some medicine for my head. My heart for a penny the sad one said, Just one to toss in a wishing well, wish for happiness instead. My heart for a nickel the grandmother said, Just enough for a memory of your father, long dead. My heart for a penny the older brother said, Just enough to let me help those who have no bed. My heart for a nickel the sad woman said, Just enough to trigger memory; the lights of stardom shone in red. When all the nickels and all of the pennies are gathered from around the globe, Trumpets sound, love resounds - and sharing begins to unfold. © 2005, Deborah L. Kelly
