The Right To Choose
by Barbara Philbrook

Oh yes you do have the right to choose
and if you do not choose right, then that right is what you loose.

You have the right to choose early to date men with a high moral code,
and if you do not then your rights begin to erode.

You have the right to say no when asked to sleep with a man,
but it would be wise to avoid these situations as early as you can.

You have the right to enter marriage as chaste, virginal and pure,
if you have learned to love God these things you will not ignore.

You have the right to spend your life living in a way which will be pleasing to our Father,
and if you do this decisions are easy, not harder.

You have a right to be blessed abundantly because of the decisions you've made,
living in God's will assures a good foundation is laid.

Yes you do have the right of choice and if made early enough in your life,
you'll be living in God's will and avoiding this kind of strife.

So learn at a very young age what the right to choice does mean,
and then you have God's teachings upon which you can lean.
