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-
