The Lighthouse



      Look and you shall find me.
       When your lost at sea and
       the waves keep on rising.

       Look towards me and I will
       show you the way.
       When you feel lost and the
       stars are not aligned.

       I will reach towards the heavens
       and shine like the moon so you
       will find me.

       I will show you the light. Bring
       you out of the fog.
       Where you can rest and find
       peace.

       I will keep the tides away and
       comfort you. Feel the warmth
       of the light against your sails.

       Let down that anchor and rest
       away your worries.
       For when you look at me I will
       blink twice and I am there.

       I am that lighthouse you seek.
