Analysis of The Lighthouse Beacon



For those that may struggle
In life's everyday puzzle,
You're God's beacon of hope
For those who can't cope.
When sadness makes my soul ache,
I visit the lighthouse by the lake.
It makes me feel safe at night,
Jus' knowin' you're shinin' God's light.
The Lighthouse Beacon makes
My knees want to weaken,
At the wonderous light
It's a majestic sight!
I hope the light never goes out,
That's a thought too scary to think about.
I must come back tomorrow
As you're my remedy for sorrow,
To get the happiness I'm seekin'
From my ever faithful friend.....
The Lighthouse Beacon!
