The first two stanzas are so descriptive they ripple the reader's emotions. They left me wondering where your daughter is returning. To her new-to-you faraway life, probably?
then the last words came to explain, and add further emotions.
I like this piece.

As a parent this is very relatable, love your format and wonderful as always descriptive writing, Larry you always pen emotions so damn good!

As always an excellent write :)
