Between Friends: Anita poem

Two woman, Anita Holzberg and Ann Wainwright met over the internet with Bill Costley,

their common friend, whose wife Carolin had been Ann's good friend. Starting in

June '09, Anita sent a Cupcake poem to Ann's website cakecakecake, after seeing

the photo of cupcakes. The poem was about her grandson's first birthday party. Ann

liked that and it was the start of a wonderful exchange of poems from Anita to Ann and

Ann with color, photos, and lay-out savvy, presented them to the blog. Now, in 2010,

the two women so alike in spirit and interests, have started BetweenFriends, a new blog

site where they can combine ideas about their worlds. Ann lives in Northern UK

(Teesside). Anita lives in Northern California, Sunnyvale, (Silicon Valley where all the

computers are.) We share our lives on this blog and hope you will comment and share

yours too, dear readers and enjoy the "ride".

subject/predicate

I am the noun and verb

until you speak

you are the noun and verb

your speech so correct, so much thinking

I thank G-d for that

today you said

"I love you" it clearly meant that

Time is a wash

We are at another threshold

I thank my friends who believed in Jim's return

I thank myself for always going to his bedside

even in the tough times

Life is a leaf

a series of leaves building

nests of leaves

make a house

with my love,

I made for thee a house.........

sturdy and true

I praise God for thee

for me and you.
