Light Keepers A guiding beam of light That flashes in the night It tells men of the sea If that's where

they should be. Sometimes it says, "Beware, There's trouble for you there." At times, if it's the case It says, "This is the place." Alone on shore or rock These men of special stock Keep the lamp light burning For sailors returning. The lighthouse tender's breed Fulfills a special need His only family Is the light and the sea. So hats off to these few And the fine job they do For ships lost and wind blown Saved by the light they've shone. Del Abe Jones 80s
