Between Friends: Hope - Anita Holzberg

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".

Writing in the dark

bringing the light through words that hit the page

Words that I wrote for Jim

"And the little bird without words, sings my song"

performed in Poetry and Song

These months later, no speech

Jim got me to that performance

my feet went numb and he drove me

Jim told me to go back to teaching

to not stop working

I am working now

going back to school

Jim walks in my head

every day

what he said to me for me

my best rooter

the soul of my soul

the chemistry of mind and body

the waking of friendship

every inch I am there for thee

Monday morning, Tuesday Morning every

day, my heart is there for thee

You deserve a good life

I am holding up the light

for thee.

Hope Springs Eternal

Anita S. Holzberg
