Friend: Can you even tell what they're saying?

Me: No, but it sounds pretty.

there’s a story to this letter:

Grandma said that there was a letter for me in the mail and gave me this. There was no return address, nothing inside the envelope, simply just my name and this writing. Translated it says:

“Life is a flower in which love is the honey.”
