Hi
Please tell me if this sounds OK.
"Cheer up, my little girl. Won’t the mother earth feel sad seeing one beautiful flower in it being sad?"

It's a bit repetitive, and I would omit the "the". Cheer up, my little girl. Won’t the mother earth feel sad seeing one beautiful flower in it being sad?

Mother Earth is the Earth, so she can't see something in it, but she can see something in herself.

"Cheer up, my little girl. Won’t Mother Earth feel sad seeing one beautiful flower in herself being sad?" But I would drop the pronoun ""Cheer up, my little girl. Won’t Mother Earth feel sad seeing one beautiful flower being sad?".

In my opinion if we speak about our planet we have to use article "the"

What about "on herself"?

That would be suitable, as Mother Earth is said to be adorned with flowers.
