When you're in it, it's hard to see
Then when removed what will we be
The cadence of life one does absorbed
Yet when away somethings abhorred
In us is the desire to acquaint ourselves
The familiar we live, with it's pleasures
To forsake it, pulled away, some say
Rather difficult, but for the best, if you may
For a season if you can, look for a better land
Separation looks different from what's at hand
A different focus comes to play
Appreciation for all with this very day
Things you once held dear
Looks different, who really cares
Life's precious moments are fleeting
Barely do we stay to enjoy her greeting
Looking over my life and all I've lived for
Cravings I lived in, ever wanting more
Now to realised the simple, the joys
A peace that nothing else annoys
For when I extricate, I can contemplate
Beauty, sounds, sites, begging me to relate
Until I seperate for my higher purpose
Never will my vacation here becomes a land flowing with milk and honey
