What is life without routine.
Day in, day out,
Sunset, sunrise,
Each day is the same.
The same thing every day.
If each day is the same then what is life really?
Each day is the same,
You do the same thing,
Again, and again.
The same classes,
The same sports,
The same time,
Never changing,
And never-ending.
If each day is the same then what is life really?
That is the question isn’t it,
Life is not what you do,
Life is not what happens.
Life was never about what,
Life was never about when,
Life was never about how.
It is the people you meet each day,
It is the connections you make each day,
It is the things you love.
Life is the all the things you wouldn’t expect of it,
What is life if it weren’t for the people in your life.
People expect life to be everything they dream,
But in reality,
it is always much more than that.
In reality,
the people we meet and love are our dream.
When people realize that they are a routine and they change it,
Then they are missing the point of life.
When you don’t stop to see the beauty in people is when your life is over,
When you stop caring for others is when your life is over,
But over is not complete,
Over is a slacking on what you could be.
When you have met everybody you can,
When you have given all you can,
When you have helped all you can,
Your life is finished.
Only when you have no more friends to make is when you are complete,
Only when you have no more to give is when you are complete,
And only when you have no more people to help is when you are complete.
Each day we neglect the needing,
Each day we neglect the lonely,
Each day we neglect the weak.
Too many people’s lives are over,
Too many people neglect the needs of others,
And too many people have evil in their hearts.
Now I ask you this,
Is your life over,
Or is it complete?
The old,
The young,
The east,
The south,
The west,
And the north.
Are you sure your life is complete,
Or will you let your life be over.
This is a call,
To those with the strength to complete your life,
Will you do what is necessary to complete your life.
If so do what you can,
If not,
Then find out how to complete your life.
So now I ask you,
How do you fix the routine?
How do you find the meaning of life?

your poem was outstanding. the words were powerful.
Your poem beautifully conveys the meaning of life that truly satisfies: make yourself a complete gift of self to others; or at minimum - to another. As Bishop Robert Barron radically suggests (for another famous person): Your life is not about You
I agree, a persons life is never about themselves. A persons life is only as powerful as the people in it and the people they influence. Life isn’t meant to be lived alone.
