Lighthouse

A guiding light shines out through the darkness
So no matter if we are lost
The beacon reaches out
It is high and points to heaven
How can we not love this
Beam of hope
A sign that says here is land
Here is safety
Come in from the storm
You are safe with me

Wash me ashore to the edge
Of the lighthouse
And drag me inside
To rest,
To contemplate being alive
To get down on my knees in gratitude
For life
For you
For the lighthouse
