"More Than a Penny" Inspired by The Dread Penny Society:

More Than a Penny

Thoughts and emotions are guarded,

though words are cheap.

If you want a meaningful sentence,

it’s going to cost the time of trust.

But ask for a story

and everything changes.

Walls comes down,

distance between fact and fiction

shrinks to fit the telling heart,

truths are unveiled—

if you know where to look.

Stories make it easier

to see our world clearly,

to make difficult decisions,

to confront ourselves.

Ask for a story,

offer a penny,

and listen for gold in the telling.
