Sail Not Close To the Wind

S-ail not close to the wind, 
H-azard is caused by bad weather; 
I-t makes the sea waves rough, 
A-nd your life in real danger. 
N-ever sail close to the wind, 
N-either take risk anytime; 
O-n the twenty-fourth of July, 
N-o steepest hill to climb. 

A-im not to sail close to the wind, 
B-ecause of the peril; 
E-vil deed is left behind, 
L-earn to do the Father's will. 
L-et not your walk go amiss, let the recklessness end; 
A-llow your boat to be safe, sail not close to the wind.
