I need a suitable caption or short verse - L'escargot

I've got a six pence coin which was minted the year 'er indoors was born, and I'm going to stick it inside her birthday card this year. I need a suitable caption or short verse to write below the coin. Any suggestions?

Money's tight, times are hard,
All you're getting this year is a coin and card.

Here's a coin which is not shiny or new,
But looking at the date, I thought of you.

heres a coin from the year your were born
it may only be 6d
but you mean much more to me
I`ll run to 7p.
but before you get too excited,
before you get carried away,
it`s not the money but the thought.
have a happy birthday, from me.

You could always play the "olde romantic" card,
and use it to disguise (sort of) her real present!!
Something along these lines perhaps?

Heres a coin to start you off,
on a search for another two,
and when you have a set of three
you know where we will go?,
I`ll whisk you off to Fontana di Trevi
and the coins in you can throw.

Here is a coin that's the same age as you,
The only difference is, it still looks shiny and new

When I look at this coin minted in the year
when you were born,my love ,my dear
I think of all the time so blessed
and think it's time I now confessed.

I have not always been so true
honest and hard working , my love as you
I have at times avoided working
and watched you cook and iron whilst shirking.

But in my defence I now avow
that I love you better even now
than on the day when we were united
and our love to each other we plighted.

So fairest one as you hair turns
to the colour of coins and milk churns
I will pledge to you this day
I'll love you always through life's affray.

I'm a romantic, so provided that you REALLY MEAN IT,
I would write something like. . . . .

Both this coin and you came into the world in the same year.
How things have changed since then!
The coin is now worthless.
But you are priceless.

Don't tell her that you asked someone else to write it for you :)

"I've got sixpence,
A jolly jolly sixpence,
I've got sixpence to last me all my life.

I've got tu'pence to lend
And tu'pence to spend
And tu'pence to send home to my wife."

Found on Google.

So you are being generous giving her the whole sixpence.
