My F I V E Leaf Clover

(Each leaf on a clover represents

something. The first is for faith, the second for hope, the third is for love, the fourth is for luck, the fifth is wealth.)

A five leaf clover is considered to be very unlucky by many, but should it be? Think about it, to find one with just four is rare, now just imagine finding one with five. Even so, luck hasn’t been on my side since having acquired all five cloves. Allow me to tell you why.

It is very much true that the first leaf represents faith, see when I first laid eyes on “faith” I knew I had to have it. The only problem was that leaf happened to completely be out of my league. When I first met my first leaf, it seemed as if we were two different people. The first leaf had beautiful vibrant blueberry eyes, mine are a dull brown. She had long princess like hair, compared to my month old distasteful haircut. Faith just had the most radiant smile I had ever seen, I always thought I had a pretty good smile, but she… She took first place. My favorite thing about her wasn’t in her eyes though, it wasn’t in any of her physical features. My first leaf had a very special quality about her, although she was everything I wasn’t, being around her just made me have complete confidence In her. Being around her gave me complete trust in everything around, and everything to come. The best part about it, is that this feeling had not been backed up with any proof. I just felt it, an unusual sense of calmness when with her. Falling for the first leaf had to have easily been one of the best things that’s happened in this life. We did everything together, there was no boy without girl, no girl without boy, everything I thought I’d probably never do, somehow she made me do it. I used to tell her that the fact that she was left handed and I was right, that it meant she was my other half and I was hers. Pretty wide-eyed on my part but I didn’t care I still don’t. To this day my first leaf is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and if the stars allow it I’d have have her back in a heartbeat.

Just like all good things though, her and I came to an end, but that’s ok because she truly made me a better man, she gave me the ability to blindly trust and confide in. So her thank you “bubs” I have faith we’ll find our way back one day…
