Lighthouse
By Laura Brady DePace
The lighthouse flashes:
Light, dark,
Light, dark,
In the distant night.
Its beam steady,
Dependable,
Solid as the rock it stands on.
It lights the way in the darkness.
Warns of danger.
Protects the innocent ships.
Guides the travelers to safe harbor.
You were my lighthouse.
You lighted my darkness.
Steady,
Dependable,
Solid as a rock.
You protected me and kept me safe.
Until your light went out,
Leaving me in darkness.
Where is my safe harbor now?

Beaches and mountains, quiet forests and sleepy gardens, stormy nights and sunny days, full moons and starry skies, sunrises and sunsets. Joy, sorrow, love, and life. These call to me, and I wish to tell their stories.
