MY JAR OF PENNIES
<p>
I have a jar of pennies that sits inside of me <br>
It's the most important thing that I longed for you to see <br>
There were some in my life who told me it was there <br>
They helped me keep it clean so that of its value I was aware <br><br>
But then there were many that really couldn't see <br>
This valuable jar of pennies that sits inside of me <br>
They filled me with words and deeds that did hurt <br>
All the while it was covering my jar of pennies with dirt<br><br>
There were one or two others that seemed to not care <br>
And did nothing to help me see the value hidden there<br>
The jar is forgotten it's been long since I've seen <br>
That old jar of pennies that sat inside of me <br><br>
There's so much of dirt I'm sure it's been lost <br>
I need someone to remind me whatever the cost <br>
I'll say things that hurt you and do things for fun <br>
I'll make my life count; that's right, I'm number one!<br><br>
I'll do for myself what no one would do <br>
I'll show you my value if it's the last thing I do <br>
A smile from another, a wink, a kind word <br>
Reminds me of a time when my value was heard <br><br>
But I feel the dirt harden; my plan did not work <br>
I need YOU to uncover what is under this dirt <br>
There are so many layers it might take some time <br>
But please let me know the true value that's mine <br><br>
It is now that I realize how hard it must be <br>
When I look inside you and see the dirt put there by me <br>
So layer after layer let us both make a vow <br>
That we'll remind each other of our value somehow <br><br>
Then when we can see clearly to our knees we will fall <br>
For the valuable jar of pennies were not pennies at all <br>
There in the dirt each other we hold <br>
For what sits in the jar is the dull shine of pure gold.
