Sea Turtle


I once read a poem based on this story that I really loved...now I can't find it anywhere and I can't even remember who wrote it? Maybe one of my long lost classmates? I might try to recreate it in the near future...only if I really can't find it after going through all of my files.
I love the story

“June 4 in 1974, Mrs Candelaria Villanueva, 52, had been
in the sea with a lifejacket for more than twelve hours after the ship
she was on, the Aloha, caught fire and sank 600 miles south of Manila,
Philippines. A giant sea turtle appeared beneath her and supported her
until her rescue by the navy vessel Kalantia. After the rescue, the bigger
turtle circled the area twice before taking off.”
