Bloom

Her little seed fell onto the ground, and began to grow it's roots. She worried for her little seed, as it was buried under the dirt. It's roots stretched on and on, away from the eyes of it's mother. It's mother wept silent tears, thinking her seed could never grow. The little seed grew without anyone knowing. Then one day, as it's mother wept, the little seed sprouted out of the ground. The mother rejoiced for her little sprout, and as time passed it grew and grew, and almost never stopped. When it did, it refused to bloom, and it's mother wept again. She asked her little one to open up each day, and each day the little one refused. The mother grew old and tired. Then finally, one day, the little flower bloomed. It's mother cried her final time, as she saw her little one blossom, and become what it was always meant to be. The most beautiful flower of all just took some time to grow.
