A sample from Book 1

 Never Forget
  
 each day you get up—
 never forget
who filled your cup
  
 each day you begin work—
 never forget
on your back
there's a shirt
  
 each day
you create something new—
 never forget
who gave you the clue
  
 each day
you joyfully sing—
 never forget
the past-learning thing
  
 each day
you sit to draw—
 never forget
you once was young and raw
  
 each day
you start to paint—
 never forget
those who can't
  
 each day
you work your farm—
 never forget
you have two arms
  
 each day
you design a new dress—
 never forget
those poor...in distress
  
 each day
you write on your book—
 never forget
the years of learning it took
  
 each day
you write an article—
 never forget
those who can't live humble
  
 each day
you sit to learn—
 never forget
those who lack concern
  
 each day
you attend a school—
 never forget
those controlled
by a dictator's rule
  
 each day
you drive your car—
 never forget
those who have to walk far
  
 each day
you take a bath—
 never forget
water...some do lack
  
 each day
you sit to eat—
 never forget
those who can't afford meat
  
 each day
those you judge—
 never forget
they don't ask for much
  
 each day
you wedge your war—
 never forget
you're watched by the Lord†
  
 each day
for greed
you make policy—
 never forget
where comes God's† glory
  
 each day
you choose not to pray—
 never forget
in the end
it's God's† say
  
 each day
God†—
you don't thank—
 never forget
how your day soon sinks
  
 each day
you have a choice
 it's your individual voice
 that's heard
above the noise
  
 whatever you say
no matter the day
 for your wrongs
you'll eventually pay
  
 never forget
when problems you can't solve
 when accidents you're involved
 when anger doesn't dissolve
  
 never forget
when you're ridiculed
by your boss
 your keys
you carelessly lost
 government rendered fines'
heavy cost
  
 never forget
when love leaves your house
 when your income goes south
 when criticism
comes from every mouth
  
 it's your own choice
 ignore the Lord†
your criticizing voice
 not believing in His† truth
 —playing your own card
 your reasons for shedding blood
 —your raging fighting flood
 using His† name
for nothing but gain
  
 never forget
 God†...your Allah†
is one and the same
 you are His† children
 equal in His Holy† vision
  
 to not thank Him†
 to ignore His† ten commandments
 to think
you're better than Him†
 to not believe in Him†
to condemn His Son†
 —all that's within Him†
  
 these accidents
these painful moments
 that's happening to you
 is just a clue
to what He† can do
  
 you think I'm wrong
you're right
 —your non-believing song
 won't lead you
to any throne
 here's a test for you
 take a break from your cause
 from your man-made laws
  
 a month that's all—
 each day
when you first awake
 thank Him† right away
  
 don't lie
don't steal
don't cheat

 be nice
stand up for what's right

 say thank you
say please

 to each person you meet
  
 pay attention
to those with limitations
 those missing a limb
those blind
 those left cripple
those without money
  
 open a door
try to help
do more
  
 for one solid month
then you'll see
 how things change
 how you start to feel
way down deep
 there's nothing to believe
 all good—
comes from He†
  
 you just have to stop
slow down your clock
 you don't need miracles
 to understand
His† principles
  
 love
peace
forgiveness
helping
  
 is all He† wants
from you
 to be true
to be honest—
 His† simple menu
  
 if these you do
He'll† be true
to you
 His† love will shine
you'll see His Divine†
