This little song is about staying strong and true as we get older. I decided to keep it rough and bare.

Bless This Heart (Brian Peters)

I've been travelling a while
Wearing out these miles
Portioning my days
In that circle of time
I've been holding fast
Unrolling the past
And I'm doing fine
Bless this heart of mine

The bright new man, the dunce, I do not fear
The blazing sun, the bone-beak missile spear
I count them none

I've been spinning a dial
Unreeling a line
Floating on a river
Without a sign
A sailing lotus shell
On a ripple bell
Yes, I'm doing fine
Bless this heart of mine

The cackle and the bark, they hold no sway
The parables of dark, they're like the spray
I count them none

I've been holding the nerve
On a winding curve
Shooting out some pebbles
In the grit and grime
My rumbled peace
As I take my ease
Says I'm doing fine
Bless this heart of mine
Yes, I'm doing fine
Bless this heart of mine
