- bringing a little life into your lights
Below are numerous poems, prayers texts and graphics I have collected over the years – all with a lighthouse theme. The lighthouse as a guiding light for our lives as well as our ships seems to be prevalent throughout history. I am posting some now just for interest. If you have any contributions not listed […]

The only two good ones I found were: Lighthouses are more helpful than churches. – Benjamin Franklin I can think of no other edifice constructed by man as altruistic as a lighthouse. They were built only to […]
A friend found this for me, and sent me the links. It is nice song, and the photos are so beautiful that I just had to share it. There are two versions with different photos. I have inserted the lyrics in between the two videos so they are available for both. The first video has […]
