Anchor at port
There was no looking backward
Steps were going forward
One step more and it was deep valley
There was absolutely no hurry
No blind venture is needed
It has to be precisely calculated
What can be real gain?
Good return or only pain
There are drawbacks
And so many stakes
Yet one needs to be careful
If he has to be successful
It is basic instinct
That really inducts
To press and go ahead
With resolve to have lead
It is peak of mountain
That has to be retained
For all the times to come
Strive hard and welcome
Leave no stone unturned
As something may be returned
Out of dedicated effort
Ship may anchor at port
