Nighttime 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 weary
And help cannot be found.

I finally did notice
Your foghorn in the night
Which filled me with much 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.
