Love Is Like A Magic Penny

Thirty-seven years ago when I was pregnant with my second child, I was worried. I loved my then three year old with such an intensity, how could I possibly spread my love enough to include this new child?

As many mothers around the world learn, it was never a problem.

Love, I came to learn, is not a zero sum game.

Love is more like a candle flame. Or a magic penny. Before we get to magic pennies, let’s tackle zero sum games. That’s an apple pie.

Actually, it needn’t matter if it’s apple or pumpkin, lemon meringue, even mince; any pie will suffice for our example. Whatever the contents, when the more I eat means the less you eat, we are dealing with a zero sum game.

Love, I was happy to learn, is not an apple pie. Love is a candle flame. While the initial candle turns out to be zero sum, the flame lives on. From one flame, I can light many candles.

So, we’ve got love, apple pie, and candle flames. It’s time to add magic pennies. Love is like a magic penny.

Malvina Reynolds from one of her album covers

Magic Penny is a Malvina Reynolds’ folk song from the 1950s. A song about universal love and how the more we “give it away,” the more we “end up” having. And really, who wouldn’t like more love in their life?

When Woody and I lived in Kazakhstan, this was the song we often sang as our “toast” for special occasions. When we returned home, my grandchildren learned to sing it with us.

Here are the lyrics, in case you also want to teach it to your grandchildren as I have done:

Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.

It’s just like a magic penny.
Hold it tight and you won’t have any.
Lend it, spend it and you’ll have so many
They’ll roll all over the floor. For

Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.

Money’s dandy and we like to use it
But love is better, if you don’t refuse it
It’s a treasure and you’ll never lose it
Unless you lock up your door. For

Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away
Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more.

So let’s go dancing ‘till the break of day
And if there’s a piper, we can pay
For love is something if you give it away
You end up having more.
