As a Lighthouse Stands
by Moses Hochstetler (Age: 59)
copyright 08-23-2003


Age Rating: 10 to 127

  As a Lighthouse Stands
Picture Credits:

Dedicated to my son Edward
**************************

Stand, young man, as a lighthouse stands
At the crest of a raging sea,
With a beacon light
On a moonless night
While the winds shriek mightily.

Moor yourself to a towering rock
Of truth and equity;
Be a reference guide
On the other side
Of the shoals of anarchy.

Hold your own when the going thing
On the tide of a mortal throng,
Is to play with shame
In a reckless game
Of ignoring right and wrong.

Stand, young man, as a lighthouse stands
On the edge of a railing sea;
With your head held high,
With a fog horn cry,
Leading on to victory.

Awesome Moses. I wish I could describe my feelings the way Greg did. I can certainly echo his words Keep them coming.

Terrific way to compare human character to the stature of a lighthouse. Very clever and incredibly original! Nicely done Moses.
Warm regards,
Gregory
