Omar Sixto was born in Pinar Del Rio, Cuba. His early experiences in life were around his father's tobbaco plantation, where he learned, from his father and grandfather, how to work hard, be an honest man, be a man of conviction, commitment, loyalty, sincerity, and offer to his friends and enemies alike, decency , forgiveness and class, "a handshake would seal a contract" , "money will not be taken to the grave, only your honest name", "do not ever envy others, be unselfish, tolerant and kind" , "do good to others at all times", "have God in your life".......those were the moral teachings engraved in his soul and heart as he grew from a child, to adolescent, to a man, in his father's hands !!!. In 1959, his homeland, Cuba, was taken away from him and his family, becoming exiles in Miami, USA, his father and mother starting all over again, with five children to feed, no income, destitute, but immensely free in their hearts and minds, for freedom is the most precious treasure ever created by man !!

At age 21, he volunteered to serve in the US Army, serving a combat tour in the Republic of VietNam, the experiences of war forever in his mind, invisibly molding his character with steel resistance to all calamities and misadventures, for war is a lesson of its own that can not be described with simple words, it has to be lived, but it is a lesson that allows human beings to deal with the worst situations that may be presented in life, after all, life is also combat, the Devil and God, the shadows and the sun, the knife in the back, the sword in the front.........!!!!!

In all those professional and business experiences, Mr Sixto gave his best personal and professional contributions and efforts as he was molded by the old patriarchial traditional school of behavior and conduct. Mr Sixto has been awarded multiple Certificates of Recognition, Awards and Diplomas, and Letters of Recommendation from high private and public sector individuals and officials, including Presidents of several nations, among them, the Honorable George W. Bush, Past-President of the USA, the Honorable Belisario Betancur, Past President of Colombia, the Past -Governor of Brasilia, Brazil, and the last recognition from the country of Ukraine, Ms. Katerina Fomenko, Minister of Transportation and Communications, Ukraine, on the occasion of the Port of Odessa-Port of Miami Agreement in May, 2007.

In 1995, his very close and only sister, Ileana Sixto, died unexpectedly of cancer and left a memorable legacy with him: a very mystic and sublime smell of roses in his life, and then, Mr. Sixto started to write: very long beautiful days, months, and years of writing non-stop, about love, hope and faith !!! . This is the story: after the death of his sister Ileana, and from that point on, occurring regularly every two or three months apart, day or night, this elating, non-earth, unexplainable, mystic smell of roses, would be in his life, getting him closer to God, attaching his soul to God's soul in a very special way, changing dramatically and eternally his life, for unexplainable, exquisite acts of God would alter any human being's life permanently. Actually, and without being pretentious, Mr Sixto's approach to life is a resemblance of God's life, and even though imperfect by his own admittance, Mr Sixto carries a humanistic and spiritual approach to his life and to the life of all the people that surround him, whether friends, enemies, professional people, casual acquaintances, etc., etc. The smell of roses and flowers is an abstract spiritual happening that only occurs to few people in life, and he was selected by God to have this rich, extra-natural experience in his life through the death of his close sister, Ileana. The author, Omar Sixto, stresses that many people will not believe in any unnatural happening. For the public to believe him or not, with due respect, is an irrelevant subject matter, people may believe, people may not, it is a personal choice respected by the author, the comment and analysis on the smell of roses, is a personal one, chosen here to explain his present closeness with God, no to be construed as one of influence over other individuals. Mr. Sixto has been a very objective person throughtout his life, knows what he feels and tangibly senses, and is not given to exaggerations, this experience is uniquely his, the smell of roses, again, is a personal experience for the author and not related to any other, compatible or uncompatible, religious belief that people may have, and which the author respects, as they read this biography. In addition to his 1,400 poems, Mr. Sixto has composed another 200 only dedicated to God, which at the present time, have not been published. Mr Sixto will publish them at some time in the future, when God calls for them to be published !!

Mr. Sixto's legacy, according to his own statements, and if there were to be one, would be for people to love other people as God does, through the reading, assimilation, and interpretation of his love poems, which invariably have the teachings of pure and real love, through the genuine practice of unselfsfishness, sacrifice, devotion and commitment !!

This book of poems is the heart and soul of a man in love with God, in love with life, in love with people, in love with the idea of being a good human being to others, always there for the person in need, always doing good no matter what payment he gets in return, always open to help others, with no betrayal in his heart, with no vengeance, no bitterness, no rencor, no hate, always forgiving, always lending a hand, always in love with God, lettting life takes its course and finally, and most important, doing always to others, what God always does : to be always by their side, in the best or worst of life, in the best or worst of times !!!. That is his credo, that is his life !! Omar Sixto, a chosen man, for goodwill and love to others, untill the day he dies !!!!!
