No, I don’t see her yet . . .

Well, maybe later . . .

 

I hope she’s all right;

that money won’t last forever.

Is she spending it wisely?

Making it last?

She’s been gone a long time . . .

 

Do I see her?

My eyes are playing tricks.

Tomorrow, perhaps.

 

How could I say no?

She just needed to try her wings.

People can say what they will!

She’s my daughter;

I’d take her back today!

 

Another day;

there’s still no one coming.

Only horizon . . .

 

I keep on hoping,

willing my love to see her through.

Does she know she can come home?

I hope she does.

My arms are wide open.

 

Is that her now?

I can hardly be sure . . .

It is! I’m coming!

 

But you look so worn!

I could barely recognize you.

Who did this to my daughter?

It’s all right now.

You’re home. That’s what matters.

 

You’re my daughter!

You won’t be a servant.

I won’t hear of it!

 

Draw her a warm bath

Find the best dress from her closet –

and jewelry! – Here, take my ring.

– I have you back!

I want the world to know!

 

I’ll plan a feast,

and invite all our friends!

 

I have you back now.
