Light of My Life

Like a lighthouse I stand tall.
Always here if you call.

I scan the deep, turbulent sea.
In case you ever need me.

I weather all the storms,
as in the day you were born.

I guide you safely back home,
to where it's comforting and warm.

As a lighthouse never fails,
may you always set your sails,

back to where there's solid ground, 
and my open arms are to be found.

Walk into my arms my baby doll.
Allow a mother's love unfurl.

Than you Dorian. I know they are good when they make me cry. My baby is in San Francisco all summer until September 5th. I miss her.
