Beside the sea, Over the cliff
Stood a lighthouse, upright and stiff
Little did it know,
Which way will winds blow,
Neither did it know,
Will the tides be high or low,
Every evening went the sun went down,
It would light up like jewel in the crown,
Every night it threw beams of light,
Towards the sea, though nothing in sight,
Unknown number of ships did it guide,
Rain. summer or winter it did not mind,
All it did was light up and stood there,
Telling the marine world, I am here,
It knew not how many accidents it averted,
To their destination how many it diverted,
Neither it had pride nor remorse,
For everyone will steer its own course,
Throw the beams of light, it did, standing there,
Silently reassuring the marine world, I am here,
-Daksh-
