A Beacon

Lighthouse on the cliffs, what is your name?

What storms have you seen?

How many ships have you saved?

Have you spoken today?

When the fog is thick, do you get scared?

That’s a lot of pressure, how do you bear?

Lighting up the dark, sending so much care.

I see you standing tall and confident

Though seasons change, years pass by

Are you worn down?

Tired at all on the inside?

So many come and go

Yet who are the ones that remain?

Thank you for continuing to stay.

A lot come home to you.

Who do you go home to?

Are you tired from the battering of the winds and the waves?

“Your wise and old and I am young and looking for help.

Teach me your ways.

You have stayed.

Thank you for every way that you have stayed.”

What do you see that I cannot? - perspective

Who’s taking care of you? - you are tall and strong. Who do you come home to?
