THE LIGHTHOUSE

by Jason Bonfante

Brick by brick you are built

Steadily you rise, full with anticipation, there is a wonder and allure to you

Built for strength with the ability to withstand high seas and hurricanes

Strength is not your only quality though

When you turn your light on, you are a beacon to a safe harbor

You attract goodness for all that cross your shores and the storms just come, then pass

But there you are, standing in your mission, a light to safety never leaving your position.
