Notes About The Poem

 

 

Tower of Light


Lightning fiercer glares to inform, 
Clouds soon thunder above, 
Boisterous waves rack up a storm,
Giving their ship a shove;

Lighthouse calmly gleams to remind,
Beacon so bright below,
Even in dark, their ship does find 
Its guiding light aglow;

Light tower silently stands guard,
To storms not a stranger,
Bears the brunt of waves beating hard,
Saves their ship from danger;

In the sea of life, storms will blast,
Trying to rip your ship,
Look to the Lighthouse, you will last 
Through all such stormy trips.
