Lighthouse Stories
If a lighthouse could speak, oh the stories it would tell.
Every crack and crevice holds historic truths or tales.
What plane had visited its’ sky and waters; what lies beneath its sea.
Stories of the keeper’s life; smuggling's it’s seen.
Whose immigrated where; who’s died as their ship went down.
Who survived a sinking craft or whom was never found.
Who killed off all the dolphins and whales, in its vicinity.
Whether a ship sank as whole or was snapped in-two by a storm at sea.
Yes, if a lighthouse could only speak what stories it could tell;
Listen carefully anyway; It may cast a story spell.
