IVI NAVARRETE – writing and Designing. I have been a poet since I was 12 years old, and published my poetry in Europe and the US. “Lord help me be triumphant in life,” published by the International Society of Poets in the ,US – 2004, “My dearest child,” published by Noble House in London – 2005, “Aquellos Dias,” published by Centro Poetico in Madrid, Spain – 2005. “My little ones,” a poem that I wrote in February 2006 to my two kids, Eduardo & Isabel, is not published yet. I have written stories since I was eight years old; Fashion Capital in UK published the story of my company, “Dare to Dream,” in February 2008. http://fashioncapital.co.uk/content/view/8869/253/ProfileIviNavarreteEpiphanyDesignsInc/

Writing has always been my passion and hobby and a way to share my feelings with others.  I always wanted to write songs, but writing comes from the heart and I cant forced it and never got the inspiration to do so, until last week when I started writing songs for the first time.  I am thrilled that finally I can conquer my dream to write songs.  “Good bye my love,” “Vulnerable,” “Sisters” and more songs to come will be released soon. For many years, designing was my hobby, but after 10 years in finance I decided to start my business and a new career.  I never imagined that this decision was going to change my life forever and open new opportunities for me.  My life has never been as exciting as now, when I am always meeting interesting people and enjoying life at full!!

My Little Ones

One more time my heart has been broken,

One more time my heart has cried,

Too many changes in too little times

Make me tumble; I missed you so much,

My little ones, I came to the big city

So happy with both of you, with many dreams,

Many goals, wondering, adventurous,

Scared, at times but with you.

You make my day lift up, in so many uncertainties;

Times when everything went wrong

Your smile makes me feel everything was ok.

Now you are gone, and I feel you absent,

I feel great sadness, tried to tell my self you’re only a few miles away.

But still feel the emptiness of not having you with me.

The city wasn’t for you, so accustom to the life of the suburb,

The walking make you cry, the toughness makes you sad.

And you missed your old life so much.

I know you are happy I tried to tell to my self,

You chose your path, and how difficult its was for me.

I tried not to be selfish, and let you go back to the world that you once belonged.

I came with a dream; I have so much to do,

But I know one day we will be together again,

And you will be part of my day, and I will see you wake up;

I will bring you to school and wait for you to come home.

I tried not to cry on the phone, and pray to get busy not to feel this emptiness.

This small apartment seems so big, you were my world,

My everything, now I feel so lonely in this big city.

One day all these will be worth it, to give you a better future

That one mommy dream for you, the one you deserve my little ones.
