Dancing in the Rain

Dancing in the Rain

  As women, we go through emotions on a daily basis that only other women here on earth can understand. The super-resilient strength we carry within us to overcome minute and enormous burdens even surprises our own self sometimes, and is a gift to our children, husbands, significant others, and the world.

  Kaltrina Hoti is one of those women on whom we can lean, a woman who understands us, a best friend, and a woman who touches us on that deep level when we so desperately need someone to listen to us and understand how we're feeling.

  Ms Hoti draws us into her passages and expresses thoughts and feelings we also feel but could never put into words like she does.

  What's most delightful is her incredible insight into how our travels through life help us to love more, grow more, and be more.

EXCERPT:

I MISS YOU

One tear is for your eyes and smile I'm going to miss.

A deep breath is for the words that we exchange in so many different ways.

It's like a part of my body is pulling away from me.

One tear is for me; I am going to miss every moment of your life.

Some things God creates will never be understood. This feeling is one of them.

Loving a child is a mystery of life...

...Giving tough love is learning to live for me and you.

Take your passion and desire of your life in your hands.

I will be waiting for you to wipe the tears from my face.

Tough love is learning to live life for me and you.

They say the mother is like a candle.

She burns her emotion to give light to her child.

I hope you see my light that I am trying to give you.

One tear is for the red rose that is waiting for you.

Don't Look Back

Don't ever look back on your past. You will be trapped inside

  the anger that will turn your world under a spell of jealousy.

Don't look back on the lost moments of life.

An old wish you never finished

Is meant to be left alone. Someone else is going to finish it.

Don't ever look back on your past.

Light is always in front of you.

Try to reach for happy beginnings and new visions of your dreams.

Search for the light in front of you if you want to see and feel the deep breath.

In you is beauty.

Don't ever look back on your past.

Let the light in front of you shine on your face.

Warm your heart inside your hands.

I Wish I Stopped

I still remember his face, thick rings around the eyes he used

  to sit on an old green, rusty chair

By the corner store

Watching people passing by and never saying a word.

When it rained, he had an umbrella, when it stormed

You could find him in the corner of the store.

Nobody knew his name... They called him Old Lonely Man.

He always had a yellow rose in his hand

So many times I wanted to go and sit by him

To hear the inside of his heart

People used to whisper different stories about him

Some believed he had lost the connection with reality

Some believed he was a brave soldier and still lives

Through the fear of death

I believed he was waiting for the return of a lost love

That he carried in his soul

That morning, I decided to share a moment

Of his life with my time... I walked slowly by the corner of the store

The green rusty chair was empty, and everything looked so different

The yellow rose on the rusty green chair was thirsty for water

Crying for the touch of the old lonely man

He was gone... So many times I wanted to stop

I missed his story

Did I?
