As a child
chores
were an unbearable
burden
which I executed
with the utmost
reluctance
preferring mess
and lethargy
to any shade
of effort
But now
aged and grown
cooking, cleaning,
even that dreaded specter
laundry
provide a monastic pleasure
and I realize
an ordered home
clean wardrobe
and stocked larder
provide an ease
not only within
the domestic confines
but without
the weight of worry
lessened
by responsibility fulfilled.
