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".

Dawn song on my Birthday - Anita Holzberg


In the cool black
 I write my dawn song
   it is my birthday
       the day of my birth
     I wait for the first light
  like so many other days
     I rise at 6 not 7
 and greet my cat
     who eats in the dark
" there is always darkness before the dawn"
     my Dad's saying
  How I miss him this day
      How the years go by
   And we scarcely believe we are older
            In that sliver of time
        maybe less than a few minutes
             I wait for dawn
         with all her promise of
            a new day, new year
                rebirth!
