V.E.S.T.

Venture into any water with care, but especially when you’re unsure.
Ease into life’s waters, too. Either sink or swim, or take a detour.
Saddled with worries, regrets, and what’s to come are par for the course,
Test the water with your toes before jumping straight into the source.

Velvet footprints in the sand that once were almost forgotten
Eased on this way, others went that, and some where they oughtn't.
Sandcastles washed away by the waves, no matter the season
Testament to a life lived, well or not, no matter the reason.
