Each time
that I read about,
hear about,
see a movie about,
a light house.
I have to stop and think
about all those lives
that those wonderful houses
saved.
They were a beacon,
a guiding light
during the darkest of nights.
They told those troubled ships
the safe way to go to reach home.
Those tall,
proud standing
houses
are still in use
even in our modern days
technology.

I think you have captured what these lighthouse do with an intensity and a loving qaulity.
However, there was no imagery in this. I did not see a picture painted before my eyes... I could not feel, see, smell the factors that belong to a lighthouse... instead, you just "told" us about something.
I like the idea, but the imagery wasn't strong enough. THhanks for the entry.
