Frugal

Here comes 
The frugal man,
He sums
What silence can.


No haste
Can hurry him,
No waste
Can push odd whim.


Here see
The noisy fake,
Do be
A stern good make.


Sense clear
The stupid kind,
Do dear
Frame peace of mind.


Make haste
To run away,
Blind waste
Can bleed this day.


Know well
How time is harsh,
Just dwell
Not in a marsh.


Be plain
In simple terms,
To gain
A wholesome germ.


Dare live
Your vivid feel,
Just give
Love that can heal.


Right here
Dwells lavish grace,
Wear cheer
In fond embrace.
