Where Less Is More

Where less is more or more or less
belongings serve to make.
That poorer people lead the way
in habits sure to wake.

To want for what is more than need
and feel your body ache.
While forced to find your own excitement
and live with what you make.

Where joy will come to you in time.
Your patience for the wait.
To find it where you'd least expect-
from others with your fate.
