From the sea
From the sand
On the rocks
There she stands
New as day
Hard as stone
Made of clay
Gaze unknown
There to mark
The sheltered shore
That our boats
Will find once more
With her light
Through each night
Shows the way
Toward the right
From the sea
From the sand
On the rocks
There she stood
Pounding surf
Broke apart
Bricks and mortared
Work of art
Dimmed the gaze
Blind once more
There from sea
There from shore
Gone a hundred million years
Not a speck of her appears
Deep waves roll over there
Where her home she did share
My Gifted Life
