![]() The LighthouseA Poem by Bo LanierTower burning bright To bring him home again For the love of his life So close but still so very Far away just like frozen In the eye of a hurricane And so the Sailor prays... Dear God if you can hear Me I know I ain't always Been the man you've wanted I to be but if you'll just Get me back to the Lighthouse Where my beloved waits for Me I promise I'll be the Man you've always wanted me To be and this will be my last Voyage out to Sea I know she never stops her Worry and it pains me to know I cause her such pain All I'm asking for is just one More chance to make it alright It’s a crying shame how fear Can make a man come back to Him I used to think I could Never live without being out The open Sea now I realize I Could never live without my wife And now I can almost see the Tower burning bright An Angel waiting on the balcony For me tonight...he prays... Oh Lord if you can hear me please Grant me this one prayer I pray Please don't let me go to my grave Without seeing my love's smiling Face and lovely eyes looking straight Back into mine oh Dear God help Me back to The Lighthouse and I Promise you that is where I will stay There with you and my precious Darling and live out the rest of my Days in the tower so bright If you'll just get me back to the Lighthouse back to The Lighthouse Tonight! © 2015 Bo Lanier |
