Safe Anchor

It had been a wild ride
He'd been tossed about
The sea swept the decks
And the sails blown out

Down below in the cabin
Belongings were scattered
Everything was wet - but
Only one thing mattered

Safe anchor was needed
And he needed it fast
He saw what he needed
And went for the glass

The crisis was saved
It was liquid and warm
Always remember -
Any port in a storm
