A Saving Lantern Burning Bright
Lantern Light Challenge
By night, you shine for all to see
Places where they should not be.
By day, you shape an eerie form
Pale and looking quite forlorn.
🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
Every night without fail, you shine
A jagged coastline you define.
Behold all sailors in the night,
Heed the warning of this solitary light.
🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
By day, you get your well-earned rest
Silent, still your light suppressed.
When night returns, you shine once more
Guiding sailors from the rocky shore.
🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
When nights are fierce and seas are rough,
You sit high on the rocky bluff.
Your lantern shines all through the night,
A saving lantern burning bright.
🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
Till next time,
Calvin
