My poem
My load to carry is backbreaking. The life in the camp
But this I must do to take care my family.
On the ground, we praying;
For my return safely,

My basket is laden the brim;

Of the most beautiful flowers in all the land.
My woman helps me to my feet to begin;
We go to the market to sell our flowers.
She has strong hands;

For survival and comfort in this life

We work support as a pillar,
With the bad conditions of daily grind.
We are satisfied knowing
Our Lord Jesucristo will provide.

you
