The storms raged, a lone ship
struggled on the ravaging sea.
The vessel was sinking, battered by lumber and debris.
In the distance the captain perceived a light house,
awaited in the night.
Wearing a life jacket, he jumped into the angry waves,
no help in sight.
He was severely tossed, his body battered by the waves
of doom.
His mind was scared, heart filled with hope despite
lurking deathly gloom.
He clung to the board braving the frigid cold water,
numbing his body.
His faith that a lighthouse awaited somewhere in the
dark, was his referee.
Sharks were circling him, soon his last breath was
near.
Dying from vicious teeth gave him great a shudder of
fear.
Still clinging desperately a foghorn sounded in the
night, a rescue deploy.
He had never given up hope a lighthouse awaited in the
dark, faith's convoy.
