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!
