Blossom

A life. We hear about a death on the news and think "How sad". A loved one passes away and we are destroyed. How is any one life different from another?

A life is like a cherry blossom tree. They bloom and they die. When they do, someone will ask "What color was its bark?" and no one will know for certain. The cherry blossom tree is gone. But we know it was here.

The cherry blossoms bloom for only a few days. Their lives, like ours, are short. But the only thing that's important, is how beautifully you bloom.  You will change many lives and you will leave many marks.


Only 
you 
can 
make 
yourself 
beautiful
 BLOSSOM.

  3. The short, beautiful lives of cherry blossoms are celebrated by millions each year. Just so, we need to remember to celebrate our short, brilliant lives and the lives of those around us.
