    of what use
    the attempts to dust the shelves
    water the plants
    straighten the pictures now hanging lopsided
    tidying up

    of what use
    taking the time to explain (once again)
    how to read
    how to add and subtract
    learning

    of what use
    making the bed
    combing the hair
    setting the table
    simple routines

    of what use
    observing the passage of time
    remembering a special day
    they pass so quickly
    keeping connections

    of much use
    the immense importance
    maintaining normal
    holding values
    being faithful
    speaking truth in love
    when everything is falling apart
