Like clockwork without fail, both the young and old would hail –
To see the maggid, they would come every week.
From far and from near, from all over they’d appear –
To hear the maggid come and speak.
He spoke of learning better – the Torah’s every letter,
To help another Yid, and reach up higher.
His words were oh so precious – such warmth in his message,
The maggid’s words would always inspire.
A treasured word of Torah, the chain of our mesorah –
To do the very best we can is all we need to do.
Put forth your best in every test – is all Hashem requests.
That’s what makes the One Above so very proud of you.
One Shabbos in the heat, there was no one on the street.
He wonders if his drasha should be said in the shul.
Although no one was there yes, he still would give his shiur-
He speaks as if the place was full.
He spoke of learning better – the Torah’s every letter,
To help another Yid, and reach up higher.
His words were oh so precious – such warmth in his message,
But the maggid’s words whom would always inspire.
A treasured word of Torah, the chain of our mesorah –

That’s what makes the One Above so very proud of you.
Just then a voice is heard – “Oh, I listened to each word.”
From behind a bench, there comes a heartfelt sigh –
“My life was just a mess, I was feeling so depressed.
I lay here ‘cause I just had to cry.
“But then I heard you drasha
With Torah and hashkafa.
You helped another Yid to reach up higher.
Your words were oh so precious –
Such warmth in your message,”
The maggid’s words, they once more inspired.
