Puppy Blossoms: Practicing Down Stay at Starbucks

Puppy Blossoms

By Shannon Northcott

You were given a seedling for one year to foster and help grow. Most seed packets come with instructions, but instead they told you they would help cultivate the young life in your care and one year later, when it blossomed you would give it back. They were looking for an extraordinary flower and only that type could do. You knew the standards were high, but felt the odds were favourable.

Roses, Baby’s Breath and Forget-Me-Not's mean love, but wouldn’t do.

Marigolds are comforts of the heart, and Junipers symbolize protection.

Ivy represents friendship; Lilies and Orchids, beauty; and the Daisy innocence.

Although these flowers would bring joy and love to the lives they touched, they couldn't do the job.

You doted over the life in your care, nurtured and helped it to grow.

Just before it blossomed, they tested the flower that was going to open. They said you did your job well and that it wasn’t your fault but this flower doesn't fit here.

There are many bouquet's of extraordinary flowers, and as much as you wanted your flower to belong there to, it does not.

Your flower will bloom because of your love, patience and guidance. This precious blossom belongs to the many beautiful bouquets of love, comfort, friendship, beauty and innocence.
