~~~~
From the bulge in your wallet
I can see the outline of a ring
Are you sure you are ready?
To be carrying that kind of thing

Don’t allow pressure to make you do
Something you’re not ready for
The consequence of your actions
Is nothing to ignore

Have you thought it through?
Is a moment’s pleasure worth the cost?
I come here as a friend
I’m not trying to be your boss

But the thought of you doing something
That could effect your entire life
Has given me reason for concern
Reason to feel such strife

There is no doubt you feel you’re old enough
Physically you’re probably right
But mentally are you ready?
For what happens in the night

If you’re sure you are
And I can’t change your mind
Make sure that ring in your wallet
Is used every time

Wow! Took me to the end to understand completely. What a caring boss you must be.
Scares me to think of my children coming to the age where they might consider this.
