I wrote this poem back in 2010 for a foreigner who came here in the Philippines. We are not related to his wife or to him in any way, but he did something my siblings and I will never forget. When he learned of our plight (long story) he promised to give us a sack of rice every month and he did fulfill his promise and he did that for 3 long years until I graduated in college. When he learned I will graduate as a cum laude he came here to personally attend my graduation. Something my father did not even do. Today I learned that he had already passed away. Reminiscing on the first time he read this poem...he was in tears! He was a real life angel and I wouldn't be where I am without his great generosity. Thank you, Uncle Steve.
