If you’re a beggar, be a chooser too,
For less is more, and more can be a curse.
The world will offer anything to you.
You must discern the useful from the dross.
With patience, judge, for better or for worse.
If you’re a beggar, be a chooser too.
Within each gain there lies a hidden loss.
Some folks will give you poison for your thirst.
The world will offer anything to you.
You will be left alone to count the cost.
Beware of saints who must be reimbursed.
If you’re a beggar, be a chooser too.
Those in their homes are safe from rain and frost.
Your wisdom is your shield; uphold it first.
The world will offer anything to you.
Though some would say, “All wanderers are lost,”
True wealth was never found inside a purse.
If you’re a beggar, be a chooser too.
The world will offer anything to you.
