Today I sat outside Cross-legged, nestled in green As I searched through a patch of clover. I wondered if my Nana, in her youth, Had done the same as I did. I wondered what went through her head, Searching for a little piece of luck, Something to hold onto and carry, As she pondered through the issues of life. I wondered if a special someone went through her head, As he did mine, And I wondered if he felt for her What she did for him. I stood up, empty-handed, Feeling just as lucky for thinking of her As I would've been with a four-leaf clover.
Growing up, I always loved looking for four-leaf clovers, and my mom told me stories of how good my Nana was at finding them. She passed away over 10 years ago; now every time I look through patches, I think of her.
