Lighthouse

happy is more than a feeling

when it is a person, it is never fleeting

she is a moment that makes your day

and all those worries will go away.

she is the light at the end of the harbor

as a lighthouse, she holds herself with honor

even when the waves remain untamed

she will always be the same.

time will go by 

and the lighthouse may sigh 

but a boy now breathes in the salty breeze

as he watches her work with ease.

what a sight she is at the end of the day

shining bright lights to keep the darkness at bay

he wonders how lucky is he to see

through the riptides of these stormy seas

she will always be here for me

bringing me home to sanctuary.
