Looking Out Far and Near
Here I am on the coastline
looking out far and near
seeking out those that be lost
bringing my message loud and clear
I am high, strong and mature
able to hold myself against all foe
having experience from all my years
telling others what they need to know
So much of history in my bricks
if it had eyes much it would tell
only eternity will tell its results
my light takes many out of their shell
Young and old have come my way
so I've pointed them to what's true
my foundation built on solid ground
like a rock unmovable like glue
This light so shines far into distance
so those in darkness will clearly see
for God's love deep as the ocean
so pleased I help souls to be free
(I am pretending I am a lighthouse and penning a new poetic tale about myself in the first person.)
