• It fell from the sky.
    Out of nowhere, right by
    My feet, it landed there
    On the ground. Where
    did it come from?

    I cocked my head skyward
    And very faintly I heard
    A frail voice, right beside me,
    A little old woman, only 4'3.
    "Coins...Could you spare some?"

    No other option at the time,
    I gifted her the dime,
    and a smile spread quite fast
    upon her wrinkled face. Alas,
    she left in a flash.

    As she shuffled away,
    I looked down and prayed,
    "May luck be with you."
    And then a coin fell for me too,
    to the ground, with a crash.

    The smile glows in my memory,
    like the coin that I kept for eternity.
