THE CLOVER PATCH


.....by Christine Ross in memory of Lucas Christopher Ross 1979 - 2001



We're searching for our clovers,
The ones we just can't seem to find.
We know they're in the clover patch.
They went there way before their time.




Most clovers in the clover patch
Have only three green leaves.
Each representing faith, hope, love
Of a life that was complete.




But we're looking for our clovers,
The one's with leaves of four,
Another leaf that represents
A young spirit that has soared.




If only we could find them
And gather in our special clover.
We'd hold them close against us
And know their life's not really over.




As we search the tears begin to flow
And drop like rain upon the patch.
The four leaf clovers grow so tall
We know there's nothing that they lack.




We feel so very lucky
To have found them with our tears.
We finally have them back again
And there's nothing left to fear.




So we reach into the clover patch
For the one we recognize.
Just as we grasp it's stem to pick
That's when we start to realize.




Their color is so bright and green.
That added leaf makes them so bold.
They stand out amongst the others
Because they have a special soul.




The extra leaf is theirs alone.
They earned it when they died.
No one can take it from them.
They'll be forever recognized.




Then we look into the clover patch
At all they're surrounded by.
Faith and hope and love are there.
We couldn't pluck them if we tried.




Someday we'll all be clovers
And our leaves will be of three
In the patch with four leaf clovers
Lucky throughout eternity.
