(smiles sadly) Wow...it actually made me CRY. Not many stories can do that...it's a beautiful story. Or introspection. Whatever you want to call it. But whatever you DO call it, it's still beautiful and touching, and the writing is excellent, as if it really was Rizal thinking it. (grins) Mabuhay Pilipinas!

That was beautiful. The poem fits in with the story. It's very touching. Grade:A!
