"You'll never know until you try"
Is what my mother said,
Along with other phrases
Like "Remember--use your head."
"Take a chance" but "Watch your step"
And "Look before you leap."
"Cross that bridge when you come to it"
And "Don't get in too deep."
"Don't take any wooden nickels"
And "Keep your eyes peeled."
The caution, "Don't get your hopes up"
Or the vow, "My lips are sealed."
See, some business is too risky,
But courage sets one free.
Use wisdom to assess the two,
And find out how it can be.
