Hehehe, I knew you guys were smart!!!
The shamrock was said to have been used by St. Patrick to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity in an attempt to convert Irish Pagans. Going clockwise, the top leaf presumably represented the Holy Spirit, the second leaf God and the third was the Christ. This countered the Druidic belief in the shamrock representing the trinity of Man, Goddess and God or life, death and rebirth.

I know a place where the sun is like gold,
And the cherry blooms burst with snow,
And down underneath is the loveliest nook,
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
One leaf is for HOPE, and one is for FAITH,
And one is for LOVE, you know,
And GOD put another in for LUCK --
If you search, you will find where they grow.
But you must have HOPE, and you must have FAITH,
You must LOVE and be strong -- and so --
If you work, if you wait, you will find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
