Friends Are Flowers ...

I received this beautiful handmade card from my Sri Lankan friend, Rizwana.

The handwritten sentiments are just as lovely as the card itself ...

To know someone here and there,
with whom you can feel
there is understanding
In spite of distances
or thought expressed
That can make life a garden.


Rizwana and I met during our trip to Sri Lanka in February and an immediate friendship was formed.
