The country of my body <br />has narrow boundaries. <br />Here in this small place, <br />Fate has alotted my task: <br /> <br />to work the fields of joy and sorrow, <br />harvest the fruits of my actions, <br />and contemplate their sweet <br />and bitter residues.<br /><br />Max Reif<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-country-of-my-body/
