L'chaim L'chaim

In the end, when the soul returns,

We will be asked about the Torah we knew and Mishna we learned.

To gain a true sense of humility,

Consider your fallibility.

Remember what Hashem did to Miriam,

Because the spies forgot, they were in delirium.

It is best to run away from the scoffers,

And realize that anger has nothing good to offer.

An angel's height is 500 years,

It is best to stay silent in the face of jeers and sneers.

Strive to become a willing donor,

Because Hashem will return money to its rightful owner.

Instead of insults, it is better to praise,

Spend time to highlight our good ways.

Grudges lead to division and divorce,

We all come from a common source!

However you judge others is how you'll be judged,

So it is best to avoid a grudge.

Don't speak every work you desire,

Because the mouth never tires.

The best mida is to keep quiet,

Silence is healthier than a diet.

A man's job is to behave like he's mute,

Avoiding lashon hara is a lifelong pursuit!

A son shouldn't join the argument of his dad,

Joining a fight will turn out bad.

Chase after peace if not today, for tomorrow,

Because a peaceful future gets rid of sorrow!

Even though hatred is exciting,

It will ultimately lead to fighting.

The end of controversy is death,

So let's all take a deep breath!

The Yetzer Hora tells us a person wouldn't lie to our face,

But the reality is that our trust might be misplaced.

To prevent what matters most from being destroyed,

Lashon hara we must avoid!
