The Lighthouse



Be alert, great vessels of the sea
If you should ever catch sight of me.
I am your friend and mean you no harm,
Tis the waters around me that break up the calm.

Rocks, shoals, and sandbars
Are the footing where I stand.
You are made for sailing
And not disaster on the land.
I stand tall and proud of the duty that I do.
In mighty storms and weather serene,
I�ve guided many a ship and her crew.

So send me a salute as you pass me by,
For I am a sentinel of where trouble lies.
