Poetry
The Lighthouse
Standing solitary, sure and fast
Sometimes lonesome, but true to the task
Though the winds and waves abound
It stands firm holding it’s ground
Never given to depression or fear
But a guiding light for those who draw near
Some seeking shelter and safety of land
Warning of danger when storms are at hand
A guidepost to the wayward their course to amend
Helping to navigate to the journey’s end
A shining beacon in the night
To all around a blessed sight
Though ravaged by storms, the sea and ice
Forsaking its position, it never thought twice
Destined not the world to roam
Yet guiding others safely home
Its destiny and duty clear
Its being, a blessing to all that are near
Beaten, taken for granted and alone
It does not fret, complain or moan
But content to do its master’s bidding
It perseveres never quitting
Let us be a lighthouse in this land
Doing the bidding of the Master’s hand
Through the storms holding fast
Knowing the reward far outweighs the task
