Lanterns of Tomorrow

Beneath the cloak of starlit skies, in silence deep and vast,

A lantern burns with hopeful gleam, casting shadows vast.

There sits a soul, with books arrayed, in quiet, solemn hush,

Embarking on a voyage bold, in the night's tranquil blush.

With every word absorbed, a brick in fortress strong,

A bulwark 'gainst uncertainty, where dreams do belong.

This is the labor, silent, sure, beneath the moon's soft gaze,

A pact with future's promise, through the study's maze.

Not for the accolade or fame do these scholars toil,

But for a harbor safe and sure, on life's tempestuous soil.

Each equation, fact, and figure, a step on solid ground,

In the quest for safety's harbor, where peace is found.

The journey's arduous, steeped with challenge, yet they tread,

With visions of a future safe, where fears are put to bed.

For in the heart of study lies a power, pure and true,

A crafting of one's destiny, a future bright and new.

Let not the candle waver, nor the spirit wane,

For in the pursuit of knowledge, there's so much to gain.

A fortress built with learning's blocks, a future safe and sound,

In the pages of the books, where hope is bound.

So toil on, brave scholar, with heart so fierce and bold,

For the stories of your future are yet to be told.

In studying hard, a foundation laid, with every hour spent,

A testament to the belief, in a future safely meant.
