For Flower contest

I Am A Rose Planted in the early spring placed gently in the earth. At one time just a single seed until I'm given birth. Peering out a tiny crack I think I see the sun. Glancing quickly all around I am the only one. Getting bigger day by day once pounded by the rain. I feel I have grown stronger from my temporary pain. Dancing softly in the wind looking through my Roses eyes. Bumble bees come visit me along with butterflies. I know sometimes a flowers life can seem to be so hard. When somewhere living close to me there lives a St Bernard. I asked my friend the butterfly to bring the dog to me. Then I plotted and I planned with my friend the bumble bee. Jumping playfully in the air he chased the butterfly. Never ever on this earth has there been a Rose so sly. As soon as he was close enough he felt the sting of bees. Me? I had my part to do so I pricked him where he pees. Rose means love and friendship.
