I gazed at the coins I'd found ...

I gazed at the coins I'd found - 

They'd been slipped my way in Sunday parlours - 

I found them amongst old photographs - 

I'd seen my two grandads wearing their wedding suits - 

An uncle at my mum and dad's wedding - 

I held the coins in my hand - 

I felt the touch of their hands on mine - 

They slipped the coins my way again -
