Contemplations of a Crewmember on a Day Off from Work

I missed you today,
our day, to be away,
I missed sitting at the table, laughing, passing the jam.

I missed you today,
our day, to be away,
I suited up, and walked outside, to look around and see.

I missed you today,
our day, to be away,
I rested, and thought, and looked to the hills beyond.

I missed you today,
our day, to be away,
It keeps us healthy, I know, but I still need you to stay.
