Routine

Life is full of daily routine
just things we do each day
they can get pretty boring
but they are required come what may

We have a set of things to do
that needs discipline to carry out
but other situations cross our path
needing our attention to what's about

But even when the days is just ordinary
humdrum as we call it here
there's a purpose for everything
so keep prodding on and never fear

Sometimes in the routine of life
extraordinary reveals itself so clear
then you think where did it come from
keep alert to your listening ear

There's a picture here by routine
that opens your eyes to see
in life before death look ahead
it may be what will set you free

Sometimes in the routine of life extraordinary reveals itself so clear then you think where did it come from…the ordinary often precedes the supernatural. God bless you, Gordon!
