The Beacon
Its not a lighthouse in a storm
Theres no foghorn to be heard
Lighthouses warn of danger
Make you turn away without a word
Its not a spotlight to be avoided
Not glaring into your soul
Not trying to bring attention
To every flaw or failed goal
Its a beacon there to guide you
To help you find your way to shelter
No matter what the storm or spiral
When you mind goes helter skelter
You'll never be alone
Thats a promise I won't let go
Never leave you to be abandoned
Come fire, rain, or snow
For now all is quiet
You're comfy snug and warm
And while I'm happy that you're safe
I worry bout the calm before the storm
So if the darkness should surround you
And the clouds start to roll in
Stop and find light I've left
Let it be your beacon
