My Light House

Looking in the mirror, I see myself drowning.
Drowning in seas of doubt and shame
Lost in darkness, no Moore to tie on to;
No harbor, safe for my wondering spirit.
I am truly lost and alone.
despite all that I have gone through;
You've been a guiding light, my light house.
Giving warning of the snares that lay ahead,
encouraging me to continue on, my companion.
A true blessing, in my life, your kindness.
I can never repay you; a mere thankful
isn't good enough to me, I can't express
feelings in my heart, my sincerity
you are a true blessing, a true friend.
You are mine. . .



Author notes

I think by reading this you already know what I am thanking you for...I don't believe you are a person that wants everyone to know what you did for me, but it's greatly appreciated and I hope that I have shown but a glimpse of the appreciation that I really do have for you, and to consider you a friend.... Thank you

  • This is such a very beautiful piece you have penned within these lines... I adore the sullen scent woven into view, and the reflections of a lighthouse - the sanctuary it can represent, is just lovely!!! The image shines beyond, for those crashing waves of life that tend to try and devour us. A truly excellent piece!!! Thank you so much my dear, and best wishes in the contest!

    Simply Beautiful!

    It's a wonderful feeling when you find someone like this in your life. Friendships are precious and few in today's world. With all of the hardships that we go through, it is always great to know that someone out there cares, respects, and loves you. It is something that we all search for in our lives. Loyalty and trustworthiness are two very sacred things in this world.

    I hope that Wendy reads this and knows how much she is appreciated by you my friend! Once again, you've put your heart out and shown what a great friend you are. Take care and good luck to you in this contest!
