My Lighthouse

You are my shining Lighthouse beaming
When im surrounded by the dark
You guide me through the stormy seas
So death wont find it's mark

When im barely treading water
You have rescued me a thousand times
And just when i feel all hope is lost
I find you've thrown another life line

Times ive sailed through life my own way
My anchor in you ive cast away
But you patiently waited for my return to you
And a Fathers blessing gave that day.

Now where'er the winds may carry me
I know i shall never never fear
For no matter the raging storms that come
My Lighthouse is always near

Hello Carl Frasier, so nice to meet you. I think you are drawn to lighthouses like I am. They are all so beautiful in their own way. Enjoy your evening. Whefre in Canada do you live? /Darlene/
