Acts of service (the fifth child’s lament)
What is left of me to love?
if I have nothing left to do
if I have nothing left to use
if I’m not worth anything to you.
What is my place in the picture?
if I can’t bring anything to the table
if I can’t show that I
am worth the trouble—
Who will wait for me?
Where am I to stand?
What am I?
if I have nothing left to do
if I have nothing left to use
if I’m not worth anything to you.
What is my place in the picture?
if I can’t bring anything to the table
if I can’t show that I
am worth the trouble—
Who will wait for me?
Where am I to stand?
What am I?
