A beautiful flower is hidden by the shade
Without sunlight its' beauty will surely fade
Plenty of rain will not nearly be enough
Because it is the touch of the sun that she craves so much
The flower needs the sun to be able to go on living
But with no ray of light, the flower will wilt and be at the mercy of forgiving
The flower knows that it is not fair to blame the sun for not finding her
Nor can she blame the big trees, the puffy clouds, or the shrubs of myrrh.
Truth be told' they are some of the reasons the sun cannot shine down on the flower
She sits all alone and waits for a miracle, or for some one to have pity on her
The flower slowly accepts her fate as it lay there starving....
Soon it will not be in pain or engulfed with the constant feeling of longing
But oh at long last her miracle is coming true
The sun stays out longer now and comes up a little earlier too
The world has tilted and put the flower in the direct path of the sun
The sun kisses the flower for the first time in weeks
And her beauty shows bright red like a timid girls cheeks
The flower is grateful and sparing with the sun
It knows that when summer comes she will wish for her fate to be undone
For the summer months are more painful than the spring
Plenty of sunlight but no rain; the thirst will reap her of everything
Bringing her down to the roots praying for the rain to come again
To relieve it from the overpowering gaze of the sun and all that she has to gain
A perfect combination of sun and rain is what this flower needs to survive
So when Autumn is here she will be the happiest and the most alive
But for now with summer, fall, and winter still far ahead
The flower must take it one day at a time, and rest her pretty little head

This is definitly more than a story about a flower. So much could be read into this, but in itself, it is still a great story.
There are still a few errors to be corrected:
"Without sunlight it's (should be 'its' with no apostrophe) beauty will surely fade"
"Truth be told (there should be an apostophe after 'told') they are some of the reason (should be 'reasons' the sun can not (should be one word 'cannot') shine down on the flower"
Welcome !
