Fingers crossed, I say, as I knock on wood, <br />And a black cat means my lucky day, <br />For I am superstitious in a lucky way, <br />I always look for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, <br />For the rainbow comes after the rain and brings untold luck, <br />I avoid walking under ladders and miss the cracks in the pavement, <br />And I carry a lucky four leaf clover that brings good fortune, <br />And a ladybird lands on my shoulder, telling of a good day, <br />For I am superstitious in a good old fashioned way, <br />And I do love my lotions and potions that cleanse away the bad, <br />For magic is in my blood and I truly believe in the traditions to be had, <br />Especially when a money spider lands on my hair or trousers, <br />For money spiders are supposed to bring great fortune, <br />Or even just an early payday and gorgeous pair of red shoes, <br />For Dorothy clicked her heels and wished she was home, <br />Just as I wish upon the stars and live a happy life and not be alone, <br />For all these superstitions seem strange to you, <br />But I truly believe in psychics and white magic, <br />And know that my lucky signs help my wishes come true, <br />For all my dreams are magic and like true blue, <br />And I know that the full moon will help love come my way, <br />As I carry a love charm and throw salt over my shoulder.<br /><br />Paula Glynn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-lucky-signs/
