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. 07/27/17
