I am the master of my fate;
the captain of my soul,
and it is an awesome thing
that I have at my control.
Whether I sail the highest seas, or
dropp anchor in some foreign port
either way I man the wheel
and determine my own course.
So, I never sail my ship alone
for I’ve learned why sailors say,
that “Ships are meant for sailing,
and “Good Captains always pray.”

I would like to translate this poem
Never heard those expressions, Carolyn, although I've sailed many a league! Otherwise, you've got the patois down pretty good, from master to dropping anchor in some exotic port!
