Dip Your Toe In the Water

D-ip your toe in the water, 
I-n a venture into the unknown; 
A-im to do your best, 
N-ever fear when you're alone. 
N-ow dip your toe in the water of living in the world of trouble; 
E-xert all your efforts in order to be successful. 

C-ome dip your toe in the water, 
L-ife's uncertain neath the sky; 
E-ndure either fret or woe, 
O-n the twenty-seventh of July. 
F-ill your heart with hope, in the middle of bleak weather, 
E-ither rain or beacon, dip your toe in the water.
