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".

Time does not eradicate tears - Anita Holzberg

time does not eradicate tears
    or the last kiss I had
           you in Assisted living
               wheelchair bound


time does not take away the pain
         of family 
                   not showing up
               when they should


time does not eradicate the small whisper
        of sadness at dusk
                 no one here to share a meal


time does not take away all the burdens
           all the expectations that hang on a clothesline


time does move us forward
           the space I am now
                  is that of a writer at work
                            always that time to think
                                       to find new phrases
                                           infinite
                                        that I create.
