Laundry sorted, swished, swirled, spun,
Hung, tumbled, folded
Wheat ground, flour measured
Bread mixed, kneaded, proofed, baked
Beds made, rugs straightened
Dishes washed, dried, re-shelved
Floors swept, mopped
This tidied, that dusted, those scrubbed
There is a profound beauty in these routines
A sacredness to this ministry of home.
