A simple weed can grow a pretty flower

Once upon a time a simple weed stood in a garden with flower's so many
She was so shy and plain she never talked to any
Always wanting to be pretty just like the rest
Especially if she could be like the rose she was the prettiest


One sunny day a seed fell off her and to the ground
To her amazement she had her own seed to keep around
She protected her seedling through storms and on hot days
Her seedling was growing taller and had more limbs than the weed
But she did not care she was just waiting for the awakening of her seed
One bright sunny morning she looked over and her seed was awake
Even though she did not look or act like her she was so happy to see what she could make
Her seed was a tall pretty red rose who just talked and played and now all the flowers she knew
The weed was so proud and loved her rose and in return the rose gave the weed so much love too






     Another sunny day a seed fell from her to the left and in the ground
Now her and the rose were going to have another flower around
When the time came and he finally opened up
She was shocked to see a big strong yellow buttercup
The buttercup was not talkative like her rose he was quiet and loved the colors of everything
And he said he loved all the wonderful sounds in the world and always loved to sing






     To every one's amazement one day the weed had turned into a purple flower
After all this time she had not been a weed at all she now knew what gave her this power
Because of all the love her flowers had given to her and the love for her two little seeds
She had finally realized she was pretty and was not lonely like many many weeds





The End
