The Lighthouse
~Marge Tindal~

High on a mountain overlooking the sea
I strained with all my might
to catch a glimpse of the ships approaching
the beacon of light

The searching beam gives direction
of where the land might be
It reminds me of the guard I keep
when you are away from me

I stand like the mighty lighthouse
the waves crashing at my feet
my light of love cascading
guiding you home to me

Wherever you may wander
remember that whence you return
to follow the beacon of my love
that through eternity will burn

Bright, bright, bright glows the lantern
guiding you home my way
it will be as it was
before you went away

Whether by land or sea
know just how much I care
Look for the glow of the lighthouse
you will find me there


A special re-lighting ceremony for two dear friends
~Denise and Vicky~
Thank you both for the light you keep aglow~

Marge:  Just outstanding and I'm sure Vicky and Denise will think so too.  Lighthouses are so fascinating to me, and the symbolism of your poem is heart-touching!

Marge,
  This is a beautiful analogous poem. The images are so crisp and alive leaves no doubt in mind of the caring message you send.

This poem and tribute to your friends is magnificent, Marge! Love, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Thank you all so much.

On my first day at Passions, I posted this little poem
(minus all the fancy-doodle stuff cause I didn't know how to do it then) and Denise was the 'only' person to reply to it.
She's been a steady beam of friendship's light.
Then along came Vicky ... lighting my way also with her friendship.
She dug the archives and gave this one new light, with a request that repost it~
I have been so blessed~
I love you both~

*Hugs* to all for the kindness of your replies and for allowing me to share what I love doing with you~
