Love Your Neighbor As Yourself
Love your neighbor as yourself
The entire Law, per the Sage Hillel
Before you take another book off your shelf
Take time to study this Levitical Law well
First of all, it's not 'advice;' it's a Law, a Precept
No less binding than 'Thou shall not steal'
A Commandment no matter how hard must be kept
He loves your neighbors; so must you: That's the deal
To love another, you must love yourself first
Focus on positives; build self-esteem
A negative attitude will lead you to the worst
Project positivity -- Self-confidence is no dream
Now you're ready to love others as yourself
To mourn sad times together; to celebrate glad
And by loving the Lord's fellow creations
You'll be beloved amongst His Congregation
"Love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord."
~ Leviticus, 19:18
