Four Leaf Clover
Thank you sunrise
and fresh young berry branches
for not shadowing
the slanting ray of light
that leapt upon
my plunder
Oh a prize
most of us only dream of
a simple, wonderful clover
of four leaves
so emerald in pigment
she oozed light’s energy
for photosynthesis
did she happen
just this morning
or was she there
right in front of my eyes
ever since the first grade?
it makes no difference now
but it could have,
by shaving those years of
wondering
if love wasn’t God’s
grandest rouse
we are together now
and that is all that matters
I love you Sandra Jean
