It’s so important to have routines, familiar paths to tread.
Time together and time alone,
time to visit family and friends and keep in touch on the phone.
Time to work and time to relax,
time to move forward and time to step back.
A way to help everyone be together,
yet still have the space that helps love stay forever.
It’s so important to have routines,
familiar paths to tread.
To keep us on track when life gets hard
and give us a goal on the days that we flounder.
Help us stay focused till we’re back on track
and sail over the bumps that could have held us back.
It’s so important to have routines – familiar places to go.
For every age, for every family member.
‘Cos routines bring comfort and help us to deal with pressure.
They help us relax on that crazy ride on the roller coaster that we call life.
It’s so important to have routines,
familiar paths to tread.
To helps us make hay when the sun shines bright,
and fall asleep quick after we say good night.

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it. And yes, they do.
They give us a base that can keep us grounded during difficult times. And make it easier for the one who runs the home.
