On Wednesday, I found my first four-leaf clover. Who doesn't need a little luck?
It has dried over the past couple days, but it is still clearly a four leaf clover.
There has been a lot rolling around in my mind lately as far as what I really want and what my goals are and how I'll go about achieving them, and the like. When I found the four leaf clover I thought to myself, "The universe is trying to tell me something."
Four-leaf Clover Poem
by Ella Higginson
I know a place where the sun is like gold,
And the cherry blooms burst with snow,
And down underneath is the loveliest nook,
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
One leaf is for HOPE, and one is for FAITH,
And one is for LOVE, you know,
And GOD put another in for LUCK --
If you search, you will find where they grow.
But you must have HOPE, and you must have FAITH,
You must LOVE and be strong -- and so --
If you work, if you wait, you will find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
Hope, Faith, Love, and Luck. I've been deeply in need of all of these lately.
It is also said that the leaves of the three-leaf Clover represent the Holy Trinity: one leaf for the Father, one for the Son and one for the Holy Spirit. When a Shamrock is found with the fourth leaf, it represents God's Grace.
I'm hoping for:
clarity
direction
an end to my schooling
adventure
seeing my book come to fruition
I have faith that:
things will work themselves out
there is a greater plan for me
together, two people (or more) can work through anything
I love:
my husband
writing
long walks no matter the weather
being in the moment
life
the journey
I am loved by:
my husband
my furry loves
myself (most of the time)
I am lucky because:
my optimism is strong
I am loved
I have overcome many obstacles
I am alive and growing
I know that, by God's Grace, all things are figured out in time, but a little luck along the way never hurts.
As Abra Moore sings:
See, I've been thinking it over
It's all just a little too much
You see I've got a four leaf clover
It's gotta bring a little luck
I needed to read this tonight... thank you
ReplyDeleteLuck is right there, don't you see it? It has four leaves right now, and on other days it wags it's tail at you. On other days, it shines down on you... You are embraced by luck. Sometimes you just have to figure out how to use it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this post...it has helped for me to reflect upon myself as well.
As I child I would look for 4 leaf clovers but never did find one. It’s good to know they really do exist. I hope it brings you as much luck as your desire.
