Lighthouse Letters From Eshaness Lighthouse by Sharma Krauskopf

From Eshaness Lighthouse by Sharma Krauskopf

A Gift Left by A Guest

Recently we had a guest from the United States at the lighthouse. He left behind a wonderful gift which you will find below.

Eshaness

Atop a hill at world's end,
T'was there I made a many a new friends

A lighthouse wrought with Shetland charm,
A haven from a fierce storm's harm.

The sea, the stacks, a beam of light
Piercing through the darkest nights,

Guiding sailors as they ply
The treacherous coast as they sail by.

A peaceful place where time stands still,
With potted plants on the window sill.

May our great God's hand always bless
The beauteous placed called Eshaness.

I have three books which are directly related to this column. The Last Lighthouse tells how we bought our lighthouse, the day by day journal of a year at Eshaness entitled A Year in the Lighthouse and in Scottish Lighthouses our lighthouse is featured in the 31 lighthouses presented. You can find out more about these books and others I have written at my official author web site.
