Sea Glass
By Michael Copeland

The light of the light
In the still of the night
is a beacon for all to see. 

Guiding the way
In the light of the day
and o’er the darkened sea. 

With a flash of the beam
a good sailors dream
is of safety for all to be.  

Beginning again with the
light of the light
flashing the rocks by the sea.
