Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105

His Star
In the Eastern sky
Was a sign
Of His birth
Pointing towards Bethlehem
Leading Wise Men
Shadorma
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
Matthew 2:1-2 KJV

High upon a rock
Above the craggy shore
Shined a beacon
A guiding light in the night
Kept lit by the hand
Of a watchman of the sea
With tides of time
Waves of change came, yet
Lonely lighthouse stands

#MayFalls19 Poetry Challenge—Prompt: lonely lighthouse
Needing a Daystar and Guide
To help find the Way.
Who will be my guiding Light?
Who’ll my Helper be,
In this world of dark and fright?
Lost in the darkness,
Crying out to the King on high!
He sends to earth His Prince of Peace.

I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. –Jesus. John 12:46
Light House.
Beacon of light,
Leading us safely to shore.
Keep us from danger as we explore.
Shine bright!
Tall tower.
Our guiding light,
Shining out over the sea,
Bringing each vessel safely to thee.
Keep on!
Sentry.
Even in fog,
Your horns sound deep and loud,
To warn us of the foggy shroud.
Our hope!
Striped one.
Each day and night,
You show us the right way,
So that on course we can safely stay.
Stand tall!
Sea guide.
Security,
You give in sight and sound,
To us, whenever you are around.
Thank you!

This poem was written in honor of National Lighthouse Day. On August 7, 1789, the United States Congress approved an act for the “establishment and support of Lighthouse, Beacons, Buoys, and Public Piers.” It was two hundred years later that Congress designated August 7 as National Lighthouse Day.
