Let's make love, not war
Sing of joy not death
Let's paint beautiful pictures
Write romantic, passionate poems
Dance naked in a rainstorm
Climb the highest tree
Celebrate the joy of life
Live in harmony
Let's hug often, for no reason
Hold hands as we walk
Trick or treat out of season
Go fishing in the dark
Take time to watch the sun rise
Drink in nature's sights
Delight in snowy seasons
Enjoy the firelight
Let's laugh and joke together
Until the day is through
And when we're done
The prize we've won
To live a happy life
