Things of Constant Worth

Things of constant worth are these:
parental diligence
kindness in adversity
remembering to fold laundry
rubbing his old ears each morning
being there
knowing that a puzzle may be refused
continuing to look for God
admiring intelligence only just so much
and grasping loosely in one's open hand
the strings and echoes of this green and vibrant world.

With these you may be present in many hardships and take
no lasting injury.
