Little Flower of Blue

A small flower of blue, gentle and sweet. It sits there trying ever so hard to bloom, but the placement of this poor little flower of blue is not a garden nor a place of safe keeping. No, this poor little flower grew from the cracks in the sidewalk, much like a weed. The flower grew only out of spite. Trying ever so hard to become a bright vivid blue flower, shining oh so bright. The flower was given the worst placement and as the cracks in the sidewalk continued to strangle its roots the pedestrians up top trampled the little flower of blue, some even just called the little flower a weed, nothing more and perhaps even something less. The petals of the blue flower began to dull and became rather lifeless. People would walk by plucking a petal off until there were only but a few petals and the center of the flower was exposed. The flower began to wilt, begging for nature to take its course and not let another pluck a blue petal from it. But low and behold along came a ray of hope. Along came a man, one of raven locks and crimson eyes, the little blue flower dared not look up, though, all hope was lost to this poor little flower. Or so it thought. The man with raven locks kneeled down and studied the flower for a moment. Upon his discovery, he found the flower still had life and dug the little thing up, careful not to damage the roots. The man planted the flower in a new location, a garden he called his own. He gave the flower something none had shown it. A simple act of kindness. The flower looked up at the man and as if he knew exactly what the flower was thinking he stated something it had never heard before, something it never knew. The man stated in a soothing tone 'for a flower to grow strong and healthy they must shed their petals in order for new ones to appear. Though you did lose your's in the most painful of way, you will now become something beautiful.' After the man pruned the little flower and kept it in his garden the little flower became as vivid a blue as it could ever wish for. To this day the little flower of blue blooms only now the little blue flower grows with others. One is purple, another that is red and black, there is also a dark blue one that fancies the small blue flower itself. Though, every now and then the little blue flower needs to shed its petals to become something even more beautiful. In time the little blue flower will bloom vividly once more.
