Giving Away My Treasure – a child’s poem
I stood outside the church with a penny in my hand. I’m only five years old, but someday I’ll be a man.
There’s Mrs. Jan all dressed in pink, whose hair is so grand. There’s Mrs. Cram who likes to buy everything she can.
There’s Mr. Bob, my teacher, and I’m his biggest fan. The reason is because he plays guitar in our school band.
Mrs. Jan will always make her contributions bold. She knows the value of her gift, and everyone is told.
Mrs. Cram has always seemed, to me, a little cold. She will shake her coins a lot so they jingle as they’re rolled.
Teacher Bob is kind of cool; he doesn’t fit the mould. He gives paper cash discreetly, whilst careful with the fold.
I only have a penny, since I’m not quite six years old. To God, this is as valuable as sacks of shiny gold.
