His whole job is a light for people he will never meet. Every evening he climbs the stairs, trims the wick, polishes the lens and turns the lamp toward the dark. Somewhere out there a ship sees it and knows where the rocks are. At home it is the candle in the window, the porch light, the text that says you're up if they need you.
Leave a light for the fleet.
