Be a lighthouse--
beaming and beckoning those who are at sea.
Be a lighthouse--
a tall, sturdy structure with open windows to your soul.
Be a lighthouse--
shining the way through the darkness and the storms.
Be a lighthouse--
warmly welcoming and kindly greeting
ones who truly know and softly embrace your inner treasures.
Be a lighthouse--
always lit from inside out and
shining out those truths that never fade away.
Be a lighthouse--
showing ones who cannot see
the ways to see.
