    This poem describes the inheritance passed down from family and country. From his father came strength of heart but weakness of stomach, and from his mother came fear. His sad country gave him shame. For his wife he gives all he has except for his love, which is not his to freely give. His son inherits hunger.

    R. S. Thomas

    From my father my strong heart,


    My weak stomach.
    From my mother the fear.

    From my sad country the shame.

    To my wife all I have


    Saving only the love
    That is not mine to give.

    To my son the hunger.
