Lighthouse For All Souls

lighthouse for all souls. . . . 
his eye is ever watchful
guiding those who see

storms unceasingly
wreaking havoc in dark hours. . .  
hope shines up ahead

I swear...EVERY poem I have read of yours lately, brings songs to my head...This one="Birdhouse In Your Soul"-by TheyMightBe GIANTS!....I love that song! So does my son and my brother. Btw---I like your Hi-CHOO! Bless you!....what! Don't look at me...YOU are the one who sneezed! And Why on the High Heavens would you say I was tokin' on Lefties? Who ME? MOI---ahhh? the Great Joseppie Lambert-O. No way Jose!

Wow, wow, wow...you and john freeman knocked this one right out of the ball park. My favorite..."his eye is ever watchful" and how it is like the lighthouse beacon...Great job. Good luck! CR
