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".

Loving if I Can - Anita Holzberg

If I can
I would
I would go the distance
I have done that
I have walked in crystals
I have experienced your pain
I have run circles around hospital staffs
made friends at the nursing home
I have walked in crystals
til your pain was my pain
your disability my disability
I lost you down those mean streets
but you are never ever lost to me
I continue to go
walk in salt
rocks do not deter me
just to touch your arm
or see your face
I know you can not be my every day
my rock of Gibraltar
but what you said to me
how you believed in me
will never leave me
Jim
you will never leave me.
Your spirit stays as nothing else about
this situation makes sense
My liability, my loyalty gave me
strength and durability
to go the distance, to take flight, too.
