Break Champagne Against This Vessel

I christen the start with resolutions,
The Captain’s quite convinced
To strive toward – ‘fore this journey’s end –
Worthy accomplishments –

And here, behold – my losses and wins,
A bounty found in effort;
Gold in triumph, something learned in trying,
All shining – hoarded Treasure

Even shipwrecks inspire ballads that move,
So sailor – I enquire again:
In what ways – could this faring improve,
And prove – my Time well spent?
