My neighbour

Marietta G. Lyon

My next-door neighbour
Is a lighthouse.

I pat it daily
And ponder on its fine example.

Am I so firmly planted
on the Rock of Truth?

Do I withstand
the wintry blasts of earth
with such serenity,
indeed, confidence?

And does my light shine,
brightly, bountifully,
to guide the struggling heart
into safe harbour?

I love my neighbour.
