L'chaim L'chaim

To be pious,

You must avoid all things related to arayos.

To steer clear of sin, we need many fences,

We need to be careful about all of our senses.

Business laws have many nuances to understand,

Theft has a way of sticking to our hands.

The desire for money is very appealing,

So we must be extra careful to avoid stealing.

It is easy to avoid the most obscene,

But from the small sins, we also need to be clean.

Avak lashon hara is an example,

Of the types of sins easiest to trample.

Stay focused, don't let comforts interfere,

And don't be consumed by irrational fears.

On our mission to become more complete,

We can't be worried about a lion in the street!

When you recognize the טוֹב,

You'll realize that you owe a great חוֹב!

Hashem gives us our needs that are unique,

Zehirus and zerizus share the same techniques.

As the seconds tick by,

A mitzvah might pass by.

Zerizus is required,

To build your desire!

Just a little laziness, we can lose our way,

Doing nothing will lead to decay.

We need zerizus to be at our best,

Because an object at rest will remain at rest!

You can throw away your whole life's goal,

With one small quip or an eye roll.

Most of your actions depend,

On who you chose to be your friends.

We can get so busy that our time goes down the sink,

Not leaving us any time to think.

The yetzer hara has a strong allure,

The yetzer hara is the illness, and the Torah is the cure!

Hashem never overlooks a good or bad deed,

Even the rightous, punishment can be decreed.

The world cannot stand only on דין,

So hashem allows us to repent for our sins.
