This poem has been up for 10 days now, and I find myself returning to it.  Tears stream down my face each time I do, yet I knew neither Michael, or know his mother.  What I do know is that I was so compelled to write this and get it up on the site, that I ignored some really important things that I needed to do.  A few days after I wrote it, I parked my car and found 37 pennies in a mound right as I stepped out.  36 of them were new, one was old.  I am not sure of the meaning, but I know who left them.

A Very Special Poem...
When I write, something moves me inside.  Most of the poetry on this site was in my thoughts much faster than my fingers would allow me to transfer it to the screen.  There are many sites that I have found that have touched me deeply, but there is one for which the poem on this page is written for.  I have not written the poem yet, but it is dancing in my heart and in my emotions, waiting to burst out.  Please if you like it, take the time to visit the site linked to the left or here in  the dark blue area...Michael's Pennies from Heaven, there are some places that need to be shared with the world.  This site, I believe very firmly is one, and this poem will remain on my site standing alone, for the message it attempts to convey.

Michael's Pennies

I have pennies in my pocket which you gave to me...
Smiles on my face and happiness inside...
Everyone in heaven can plainly see...
The love I carry for you, no secret to confide.

I watch over you to make sure you are safe...
Reaching down to touch you, when you need me...
  Letting you know I am in a better place...
Please know that love for you is I can be.

My life lives on through your heart...
You saw to that for others to feel...
My life had a purpose from the start...
Be it to make you smile, or provide someone a meal.

You taught me so much in such a short while...
Love's kisses and hugs I was never without...
I had to leave early to reconcile....
Heaven's wish for what I was about.

But pennies in my pocket, I carry here...
To pass to new Angels as they arrive...
Pennies in my pocket, so all can hear...
Of the love you shared with the world alive.

The Angels learn from what you share...
With the world as time does pass...
Worry never that I doubt your care...
Our love for each other will always last.

But be careful, if someday you find...
Instead of giving a penny to you...
I inspired someone to write some lines...
For that was only me... as well, too.
