Nickelchen
(Kevin Browne)
October, 2006
If I had a nickel for every time she smiled
I would have an ocean vast, deep and wide
She’s checking every answer
Accepts the sacrifice
I know she is faithful
I’ve seen it in her eyes
If I had more wisdom to carry me through the day
I would have her meekness chase my dark clouds away
She carefully tears out the paper
For her special note
Precision in each letter
And every line she wrote
