and are meant to be enjoyed by
ourselves as well as to bring cheer or
comfort to others.

.
Like flowers, friendships also go through changes,
sometimes they are allowed to die, but if you
care for them well and tend them with a gentle
touch, they will continue to build roots in new
places and bloom for years of enjoyment.

When you have found a friend such as this,
you will know by the beauty and fragrance that
surrounds your life and it will spread like

beautiful wildflowers to enrich all of us.
