A World Away
I'm a world away from everyone
I love or I hold dear;
Yet still, I am delighted
To be situated here.
My usual routines are all
On temporary hold.
Each day is like a big surprise
Just waiting to unfold.
I'm breaking bread with strangers,
Both enlightening and fun.
Perhaps a few will turn to friends
Before the tour is done.
A world away's a perfect place
For anyone to roam,
As long as there's a ticket back
To those we left at home.
