Child’s Luck
I still crouch to sweep a hopeful hand
through lush carpets of clover,
with each waddling step a reminder
of the child who tried her luck
at gluing a fourth to the existing three
and of the memory that houses the elation
of finding a true four-leafed rarity

A child that glues a fourth creates her own luck! I love this. My son is a constant seeker, too.
Poignant image
of gluing a 4th leaf
on a clover. I’ve looked
& looked and never
found one.
