Ninety seven ways to walk through the desert.
Forty five ways to explore the tundra.
Thirty three ways to wake up on the beach.
Seventeen ways to show my love to you.

Daily practice leads me to know this.
I work hard at finding the loose ends.
Once I was alone and sad.
Now I am with you and truly rejoice every day.

Do you remember our first kiss?
That was a happy day. I remember it well.
We come to the same conclusions.
We rarely disagree or fight.

Ninety seven ways to walk through the desert.
Forty five ways to explore the tundra.
Thirty three ways to wake up on the beach.
Seventeen ways to show my love to you.

Happiness comes from many sources.
When I think of our time together,
I know we are meant for each other.
When I see your smile, I am glad.
