“Expect nothing, live frugally, On surprise”…
Go for the things you need, but be wise;
to know what’s madness
and which desire is achieveable,
the ground is too low for growth,
reach for the stars and soar,
know when it’s over and walk away,
but get to the last chapter first to reach the end,
trust but never in a hurry,
take your time, though life is fleeting,
there’s enough time to be the best of you,
so be frugal, save and invest to grow.
