The Lighthouse

Heavy waves of despair crash upon a lone sailor,
As the violent wind roars within his very heart.
And as his sinking ship retreats further away offshore,
His drowning, lonely soul begins to fall apart.
And when darkness comes with the sun's deep slumber,
And the land's soft sand silently disappears,
His hope falls deep within the ocean's dungeon,
Of fallen dreams, broken hearts and relentless tears.
But alas, a glimmering light of love shines upon the sea,
Peacefully providing refuge among the rocky shore.
For the lighthouse is the answer to the sailor's heart-felt plea,
And the shining light allows his broken soul to be restored.

For when life's ocean waves push your soul off track,
God's shining light will help you find your way back.
