thanks to Cliff i've rewritten my poem in a chaucerian roundel stylee, please feel free to comment and let me know if i have improved from my last attempt. thank you.

The lighthouse keepers' daughter 

I stand in the light my families’ tale

The ships sailed past, we stopped them grounding

We were the last, technology was pounding


I show my full height in any gale

The boats go fast, the waves hounding

I stand in the light my families’ tale


I feel my chest tight as I leave Glendale

The light will last, no foghorn sounding

Our story is past, memorabilia surrounding

I stand in the light of my families’ tale

Well done Elizabeth, I think this is a vast improvement on the mark one version. How about you? do you feel that it's better? 
I do

Thank you for you help I feel it is worthy material for this sight now, I had to google Chaucerian Roundel as I needed to see some examples again thank you.

Interesting, but I prefer your second version. No worries though. We all have different opinions. Import one is yours. Do you think it is improved? 
 
Ten out of ten for perseverance.

I'm not much for poetry but I did like this one. It just seemed to speak to me of things past and things yet to come.  
 
Well written.
