SHIP ON THE OCEAN

I am a ship on the ocean
I have fought against the waves to come to you;
   A buoy on the ocean,
And I still fight the waves to remain next to you.
But I have fought the waves so long that
     my strength is waning.
If you push me away and away and away,
eventually I will float away, and not come back.

Maybe I should make it a "lighthouse buoy".
Or just a "lighthouse in the ocean."
The poem had intended to be more eloquent initially, and more poignant (with better diction).
Maybe someday I will improve upon it.
