ST. PATRICK'S DAY NEARS

FOUR-LEAF CLOVER

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.

~~Ella Higginson (1862-1940)



Maybe St. Pat likes apples, too!



Til next time.
