Lucky



I don't consider myself to be especially lucky, but I've always had a knack for finding four leaf clovers. One summer afternoon, I found over forty of them in my grandmother's backyard. I was around ten years old and easily prone to obsessive acts. I was in the yard for hours compelled by desire to find just one more. Since then I often find four leaf clovers by accident, just by glancing as I walk along.

Yesterday, I looked for four leaf clovers in the big patches at Robert E. Lee Park. It was an especially hot day, so I only looked for forty-five minutes. I found three lucky charms.
