Lighthouse by the harbor gray;
beacon for those whose craft might stray,
before the light breaks on the shore
before the dawn of day;
before the light breaks on the shore,
and the shadows are no more…
Gift of light for all to see,
ill-fated they would otherwise be,
to find safe harbor on the shore,
to guide their craft at sea;
before the light breaks on the shore,
and the shadows are no more…
Will you as the lighthouse be?
rescuing waywards from the sea?
where violent waves and darkness claim
wealthy, weary, strong and lame;
before the light breaks on the shore
before the final hour…
before the light breaks on the shore,
and the shadows are no more.
Hello! Welcome to Steemit.
In order to prevent identity theft we like to encourage users that have an online identity, post for a website or blog, and celebrities of all notoriety to verify themselves. Verified users tend to receive a better reception from the community.
Verification can be as simple as posting to your website or blog. If you use twitter or facebook, you can also create a tweet or post there. For our easily recognizable Steemians, a photo with you holding a piece of paper with the time & date will suffice.
Thank You! ☙

just saw this! Wow, how time flies... may be a bit dense at the moment, possibly due to getting little sleep after running almost 15 miles last night and working today on fumes... but not sure I'm following the entirety of the suggestion being offered here. (?) Are you saying that I should post my poem on Facebook also and then take a picture with date and time that I posted? Sorry, just not getting it... please let me know. Thanks!
Your poem was found on the blog wordimagery.wordpress.com. The name similarity prompted us to ask for verification to find out if this is your blog. You could simply share one of your steemit posts on your facebook or twitter page.
You only need to do so if you plan to post more content from your blog, facebook, or other places around the web.
Thank You! ☙
Hi, crazy I'm just now seeing this after 10 months! So, you're saying that I need to share one of my steemit posts on Facebook? I'm sure not opposed to doing that, but not sure I'm following just why?
