Lighthouse

By Jessica F. Krumenacker

A light shines on,

For the oceans deep

And in the heart’s

Our sorrows weep

Dark and forever desolate

The water’s mighty swell

Drifting slowly off and away

Sadness we try and quell

In spirit you are bright

Though your being, she is gone

For minds that cannot settle

Please, do shine on

Bring light to the dark

Make shallow what is deep

Light the path we cannot see

For this night we cannot sleep

Be there comfort in the quiet

While tired eyes drift away

Offer up a hopeful promise

That tomorrow brings a new day

Shine on us tonight

Get us through tomorrow

Give ease to the heart

That carries so much sorrow

You will lead us in the dark

Your beams our saving grace

Be the lighthouse needed

Ensure we sail on safe
