Analysis of Lighthouse in the Fog
So many nights are foggy. It's hard to find my way, Especially when groggy When I have tried all day.
To get through fog so dreary, My ship may run aground; It's easy when life's dreary And help cannot be found.
I finally did notice Your foghorn in the night Which filled me with a kind bliss And then I saw your light!
Much joy and peace were filling My heart and soul and mind, Because you were so willing To share a light so fine!
