Lighthouse

A

tall

bright

look out

over the sea

brightness

pulsating

a light out

protecting

shining out to sea

saving sailors lives

treacherous  rocks

standing proud on 

hilltops high above

these raging tempests

hazardous down below

shipwrecks and lost men

lonely times for the keepers

always tending to the life saving

beam of light showing the way to

a safe harbour to rest for the night

long may this lighthouse`s  light shine

bright across the ocean, keeping sailors

and their vessels safe each and every night
