Sonia Walker Poet Rhyme

The Lighthouse Stands Along the Shore

The lighthouse stands along the shore,
sturdy and mighty upon its rock foundation,
a welcome addition with its beacon light,
guiding ships safely during the dark night.

The lighthouse stands along the shore,
a stalwart guard facing all kinds of weather,
rain or shine, thick fog and crashing waves,
protecting all who pass from watery graves.

The lighthouse stands along the shore,
a picture postcard of a nautical scene,
red and white stripes seen from a distance
for vessels to observe with clear consistence.
