A lighthouse that touched my heart

The lighthouse
Offers guidance
It does not
Lead ships to harbor
Push ships from danger
Pull ships along shorelines
It merely guides
A light affording safety
A constant
The captain must decide
His course.

Until I saw that lighthouse
I never understood

You offer guidance
You do not
Lead me through my life
Push me from danger
Pull me away from discomfort
You merely guide
A light affording safety
A constant
Letting me decide
My course.
