I saw the freckles on your face for the first time today
Usually you hide them behind heavy layers of paint
I saw the corners of your mouth touch your ears today
Usually I only see your teeth only when you talk
Oh sister, oh how much I missed you
Welcome home
I saw your hair a-bouncing with each step
Usually you keep your lovely locks all locked up
I felt the heat from your warm eyes for the first time in a while
I used to think the fire inside had died completely
Oh sister, oh how much I missed you
Welcome home
