Porchlight

I may not be a lighthouse on a stormy shore, serving as a beacon for hundreds of ships.
I may only be a small light shining in an inconspicous corner of the world.
I may not be piloting ships filled with precious cargo to safe harbor.
I may only be the light needed to navigate just one next step.
I may not have my light serenaded by the boom of a foghorn.
I may only have my soft glow accompanied by the almost imperceptable flutter of moths' wings.
I am shining all the time nonetheless.
Some things cannot be measured in decibels nor candlepower.
