Genevieve Mika-Stevens Poet Quatrain

Lighthouse Sentinel

Like a dedicated sentinel standing high,
Vowing to protect and serve,
The old lighthouse stood proud and firm,
Intent her domain she'd preserve-

Ferocious winds incessantly howled,
Beckoning for her to fall,
The old lighthouse stood proud and firm,
Ignoring Mother Nature’s call-

Shattering waves pounded her sides, 
Weakening the earth below,
The old lighthouse stood proud and firm,
Fighting each savage blow-

At last the siege came to its end,
Reluctantly ceding away,
The old lighthouse stood proud and firm,
Victory was her prize today-
