Second Purpose
A small white house with green shutters,
sit side by side on a hill.
The small white house remembers
a family chatting over meals,
sharing chores, playing games,
reading books to each other at night.
The lighthouse remembers
their care to keep its tower lit,
its bright beams reaching out to sailors
warning them of rocks and shallow waters.
The two buildings watch tourists coming up,
allowing them to peek into the past,
but keep their stories to themselves.
