A humble person is very pleasant,

And has a natural fear of the Omnipresent.

Leadership can cause your ego to feel inflated,

To prevent that, honor must be hated!

Bring sweetness to the way you talk,

And humility in the way you walk.

Don't give yourself glory with the king around,

It is better to be told "come up" than "go down!"

Use your talents, while acknowledging their source,

If the avos were humble, how lowly we are, of course.

You won't be able to feel all high and mighty,

When you realize all your skills are a gift from the Almighty!

No matter your abilities, you need to stay humble,

Even the wisest among us still stumble.

The higher the level a person may reach,

The more they are required to teach!

Many of life's satisfactions,

Can lead to endless distractions.

The proper way to connect,

Is to have time to really reflect.

Rebuke must be in the right time and place,

Chasidus shouldn't lead to disgrace.

At every turn, a chasid weighs what's right,

And is willing to step away to avoid a fight.

Being a Chasid can lead you astray,

Always question if you're going the right way.

Gedalia didn't listen to the information provided,

His downfall was because his chasidus was misguided.

A chasid prays for his generation,

And years for divine revelation.

No one should doubt their own unique ability,

To step up and take responsibility!
