My Favorite Distraction

You are my favorite distraction
You are my favorite excuse
To turn away
From the toil of my day
To relax a bit and cut loose

You lead me away from my troubles
You guide me away from my stress
And help me see
That there's more to be
Than caught up in my own little mess

I'm too easily sunk in my struggles
Too easily weighed down by my strife
But with you I recall
Even if I should fall
There is far more than just work in my life

So know when I tell you I'm busy
Or that I really should get back to work
I'm glad to have paused
No trouble's been caused
You've reminded me what life is worth
