Lighthouse
Lighthouse
Tall sentinel that stands guard,
you protect mariners from afar.
They have trusted you to guide their way,
while they work the sea for their pay.
The ocean rises as the storm grows near,
Their hearts are filled with fear.
Your light pierces the gloom of night,
as the winds of the storm howl with might.
Guiding them safely upon the sea,
returning them back home to family.
For years you have stood on the shore,
may you stand forevermore.
Tall sentinel over the sea,
may your light always guide me.
