"What is this life if, full of ..., / We have no time to stand and stare" (WH Davies) (4)

I believe the answer is:

care

(Other definitions for care that I've seen before include "Have concern or regard" , "The provision of what's necessary, for health say" , "Safekeeping" , "Prudence" , "Protective custody" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
