Wore a Colored Ribbon

Maybe you remember the little red-headed girl who sat in front of you with the bright green colored ribbon in her hair. Even at a young age, you knew that the green was set off perfectly by her red hair. Maybe that was the moment when you started having an eye for the colorful things in life.

Birthdays are special times especially when you were young. They were likely full of excitement and color. The colored ribbon bounced as the girl ran around the yard. This time it was yellow, but it still caught your attention. Then it was time to open gifts. You wondered what the red-headed girl's package would look like. You figured that it would likely be tied with a beautiful colored ribbon, and you were right.

Years passed, and you lost track of the little red-head who wore the colorful ribbons in her hair. You became a shop owner, and what did you sell? Of course you tried to keep some beautiful ribbons in stock in case some mother came in with her daughter. You knew the perfect color that would work for each person who came in. Maybe your shop is full of other colorful items like specialty papers and materials to wrap beautiful packages. You know how much these things mean to people- especially people like you.

Colored ribbon will never be a thing of the past. It will always brighten someone's day whether on the person sitting in front of you or if it is on your birthday gift. If you have not purchased a few yards of various ribbons for your daughter's hair or just for the fun of it when you wrap packages, you never know what you might be missing out on. You might be keeping that little boy who sits behind your daughter from fulfilling his dream.

One day, years later, that little red-headed girl might decide her daughter needs some green ribbons to compliment her own beautiful red hair. Maybe you will be reunited with the girl who gave you a vision for what was exceptional and beautiful. If her mom had not bought those beautiful ribbons, you might never be where you are today.
