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".

I Wish You Hope Among the Lilies - Anita Holzberg

Drunk with the newness of the day
   I toast the morning
       eat my grapefruit
          juicy with her pink skin
     
  Drunk with the prospect of writing yet
      another poem
          to be young around my grand kids
                    Evie and Owen

                soon
           in 2 weeks I will see them
            
Drunk with the rain-song, the morning-song
     the day=before=the day song

I wish you hope among the lilies
I wish you solace among the daisies
I wish you all that you wish

Drunk with the prospect of the day

No backpack too heavy
No memory too fierce

A string of memories like pearls
My Mother's smile
Lights the way.
