They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.

That Old Lighthouse
As I view the subsistence of my life, a melody appears,
to the reflections of a child and the sounds of time,
building to a place, I've become.
A face with tiny wrinkles, the hair a tint of gray.
Her eyes hold a gleam, to help a dreamer on their way.
My Grand Old Lighthouse to this day.
A hand firm but filled with love
a child could understand.
A gentleness of spirit to urge you into another day,
my first glimpse of Jesus,
in my Grand Old Lighthouse to this day.
The pains of a child become so real as
I look back through those eyes to see
how she wished to make all the hurt stop.
The point reached between Grandmother and child,
the place where each knows to look
at the peak of dawn and the destination She would choose
for each of her bundles of delight.
She still stands tall through years of strife,
to make me realize
Grandmother
you're that Grand Old Lighthouse in my life.
