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".

If I Found You.. - Anita Holzberg 

If I found you
  on the corner
     under a lamp post
         on top of a park bench

If I found you
   through an e mail
     in a starched shirt
       at a Starbucks

If I found you
    singing in my shower
       eating lasagne
          jumping hoops in my backyard

If I found the likeness of you
    your hair
       your intense smile
             your eyes like pools of deep water

If I found you
      memorizing a poem
         walking in nature
            eating an orange
                 brushing your teeth

I would know it
     but I have not found you yet
The days get longer
       my search is stronger
Maybe if I let go I will find you
Maybe I already found you and I did not know it, yet.
If and when is like needles in a haystack
If is a long venture, when is never when we expect.
