A Token-Coin

When I started to date,
                                                 
a token-coin I was given.
                                               
I was told to hide it in my purse,
                                     
never but never spend it away.
                               
If you ever need to call home,
                                       
your token-coin will save the day.
                               
I never needed that token-coin,
                     
tucked away safe and sound.
                     
It was always there,
                     
where it belonged.
                                                         
One day I cleaned out my purse,
                                     
I found that old token-coin.
                                           
As I began to rub it,
                                                       
all the years flashed by.
                                                 
I then realized all the love,
                                     
given in that token-coin to keep by my side.
