Majestic lighthouse you still stand Foundations deep beneath the sand. Of granite blocks and tapered tower Uniquely structures staying power. At dusk, the keeper walked the stairs Along the way each window checks. With watchful eyes, the ocean scanned The routes for those who crossed he planned. From dusk to dawn, bright signals send This light shone through optic lens. Then through the day this lens was cleaned So, through the night the lighthouse beamed. The sailors would on him depend For them, their lives he would defend. But modern days have seen decline And rarely now do keepers climb. But stories; many could be told From memories lighthouses hold. Of battles won and lost at sea That only keeper’s eyes could see.
