They Sailed, They Conquered

They had set their eyes & dreams,

They wanted to explore new realms!

They had to conquer the seas,

They were willing to pay hefty fees.


The sea seemed vast and rough,

They were intrepid and tough.

They constructed vessels to sail,

Skills & constant efforts never fail!
