For A Penny


For a penny is just a token, Thoughts can cost a fortune. Though words are only spoken They can make hearts be broken. For a penny, what can be bought? Words that are spoken start where? Each word begins in thought. Where are thoughts but in the air to be caught? Words start here, In a place where some might fear. The effect the size of a tear, Can make some people cheer. For a penny what is bought? For a penny what is sought? Something that can be taught, A penny for a thought.
