Four-Leaf Clover
by Ella HigginsonI 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 growBut 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.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow….
I wonder what St. Patrick would think of your 4 leaf clover? After all, a trinity has 3 parts, not 4. ;-)
The 3-leaf clover has been a great teaching tool for my preschooler. I can understand why St. Patrick used it teach others about the Trinity.
God bless, and happy St. Patrick’s Day!
