I’ve a comrade for all eternity with Barbara
Liebenberg as my confederate, she offers
me unconditional acceptance - she is the
most loyal person I have ever met: when
she saw my little poems many years ago
She immediately offered to type them for
me - still has them in her files; & she has
never forgotten my attempts to explain my
feelings in poetic form: today she says she
feels inspired by my little poems, and she
Still supports my writing attempts - though
she has not specialised in reading poetry,
for me she looks at poetic lines and takes
care to let me know - no other friend has
ever taken such a positive interest in my
Dream of trying to write a poem which
expresses how I feel…
[I met Barbara in 1988]
