Suddenly the Light Shone
Awoke by the coldness of the night
there it is nothing to be seen
you are alone in a rescue life boat
temperatures falling cold’s really keen
Can’t remember much how it happened
the cruise ship must have became a wreck
thankfully at least I am still alive
nothing more to do but look for a speck
It must be night as it’s so dark
nothing else to be seen in sight
but then suddenly the light shone
my hopes raised see something bright
Maybe I’m close to shoreline
could it be it’s a lighthouse
a safe anchor for my soul
oh feel brave again I’m no mouse
The comfort a light does bring
just like how it dispels the dark
suddenly hope rises to flood your soul
how it all looks now see I no shark!
(Just some thoughts on being lost at sea and hoping for a light! )
