Abstinence
by Barbara Philbrook

Abstinence makes our morals grow stronger,
and gives us a life expectancy that's longer.

Abstinence makes a relationship much better too,
knowing your partner saved themselves just for you.

Abstinence of anything that is bad for your health,
gives you something worth far more that great wealth.

Abstinence is not very popular with today's society,
even though the benefits are plain to see.

Teenagers are bombarded with temptations each and every day,
abstinence is an option they should carefully weigh.

Weighing the consequences both pro and con,
and making a decision that will allow their life to go on.

If others have not taught you abstinence is wise,
please study the subject before you decide.
