ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
I'm 42 years old and live in Long Island, New York. I have 4 children and one granddaughter. I write poems, children's books and lyric's. I have one published poem in the January issue of beginnings magazine called (beginnings) it has taken me a lifetime to live to be able to write the way I do, with my heart and my soul. All my stories make you think, and touch your heart. Even though I dropped out of school at the age of 16 it doesn't stop me from writing and trying to get published. I will never give up! I will always believe that one day I will be a number one author of children's books! Always follow your dreams, but you must be ready when it comes true! [January 2000]

Tears Rhonda De Pietto Ocasio
TEARS
I NEVER KNEW TEARS WERE SO BEAUTIFUL, UNTIL I SHED SO MANY OVER THE YEARS; YET--MANY TEARS ARE FALLING FROM MY EYES; ALL BECAUSE OF THE WAY I FEEL INSIDE!... THEY'RE CRYSTAL CLEAR JUST LIKE RAIN-- YET--WHY DO I FEEL AS THOUGH I'M GOING INSANE?
I'M SO USED TO THEM-- I KNOW THEY'RE MY ONLY "TRUE FRIENDS", BECAUSE THEY'RE ALWAYS AROUND; YET--WHY DO THEY LEAVE ME DOWN?
UNTIL--AN ANGEL FLEW DOWN FROM THE SKY, SIMPLY HELD HER PALMS BENEATH MY EYES; SHE SAID; "LOOK DOWN WHAT DO YOU SEE?" I REPLIED, A SAD REFLECTION OF A SWEET SYMPHONY--
YET--ALL OF A SUDDEN-- MY EYES WERE DRY--ALL BECAUSE-- "GOD SAW ME CRY!"...
