Breathe in - Breathe out

Breathe in - Breathe out

I found a penny
In the street
Yesterday -

Breathe in - Breathe out

Ragged
Street-worn
Driven over — stepped on.

Breathe in - Breathe out

I picked it up
Knowing
To the world, it is worth nothing.
To me, more.

Breathe in - Breathe out

A single penny that is
Never needed is
Abundance

A symbol of
All that I have -
And all that I am grateful for

Breathe in - Breathe out

How can I be trusted with more
When I don’t respect the little?

Breathe in - Breathe out
