THE LIGHTHOUSE

Rosie Hornshore - Year 7

The lighthouse stood as a great guardian of land And a friend of those navigating the sea waves . Bold and strong towering over the perilous hurdles Of the deep deep sea .
The weathered paint of the protector Was evidence of this humble valour . How is stood resolute upon the rock To tell of dangers the human eye couldn ’ t see .
The neglected construction A constant punch bag to the rage of the forcible slaps Given by the powerful being of the mighty ocean
The serrated rocks Cloaked with jagged barnacles .
A beacon of hope to search for in the darkness The angel of the ocean A guide for when you are lost The warrior of the night .
