The stars have gone into the clouds
And the sea has gotten rough,
There is no way to navigate home,
And the wind is just too tough.
Afraid of going further,
Fearful of the blight,
Traveling alone at sea
Many have known that plight.
Entering the rocking waves
Searching for a bay
Struggling to survive out there
Only to knell down and pray.
Still searching
For a sign
A way to beat the tempestuous night,
With hand on brow searching
To find the glorious light.
On jagged ridge of coast,
A tower is there to shine
And watch over souls, so they’ll
Live safe and fine.
Let the rays guide you in,
As you come to shore
Let the house welcome you
With it’s open door.
Enter in and seek refuge,
Because the storm had you lost,
The relief that you come to know
Will be the only cost.
This is a place to hide
From life’s rumbles and bouts,
This is a place to set aside
Any of life’s doubts.
See this tower was built
to shelter every lost ship,
For this reason alone

I keep the lighthouse lit.
