A Sonnet of Routine By Kevin J. W. Driscoll © 2024

A steady rhythm, a familiar beat
A daily dance, a comforting refrain
A structured path, where goals and purpose meet
A guiding hand, dispelling doubt and pain

In routine’s arms, I find a peaceful place
Where tasks are tackled with a steady pace
A sense of order fills the empty space
And habits form, a comforting embrace

Though change may beckon, and new paths unfold
I find solace in the known and tried
A steady anchor, steadfast and bold
A guiding star, my faithful, trusted guide

So let me cherish this familiar art
A routine’s rhythm, close to my heart
