Poetry
I’d like to control the great, lighthouse beam
And guide seafarers from rocks and the storm.
I’d like to know that by my simple, loving act,
I had helped to keep sailors from harm.
It would be a thrill to look o’er the dark, stormy night;
And to see the ship change its dangerous course.
Just to know that my life counted for something,
And tomorrow there would be no remorse.
But God, in His wisdom, has given the Bible,
So that I might read, and follow His great plan.
He has told me to be a lighted candle,
That I might shine forth His Light, to man.
A candle seems like such a little thing
Yet, only one, burning brightly in the dark
Can light up the life of men lost in sin
And a safe path, they may be led to embark!
So, I’ll not try to be the huge lighthouse
With it’s all encompassing bright beam.
I’ll try not to hide my little candle light,
Though very dim, it surely might seem.
With God’s help, I’ll try to show forth His light,
I’ll pray that others will see only Him.
I’ll try to keep my candle lit, and glowing
And with His help it will never grow dim!
