Pocket Of Pennies

He had a pocket of pennies
and where ever that he went
you could hear him come

Dragging along the pavement
with the summer in his eyes
no one but himself

Made his friends believe
that he was fate
though he was blind
he left behind
a piece of his mind

He had a passion for stories
of a past written down
inside his fragile mind

Shouldering a canvas bag
with contents only he knew
no one but himself

Made his friends believe
that he was fate
though he was blind
he left behind
a piece of his mind
