Good for the Heart

(In honor of my wife. Guess what the metaphor is in the comments).

you just take something natural

Melt it down to its crucial parts

Layer it on me when I’m wondering what I’m here for

Make something good for the heart

Show me what I never knew I needed

Reveal the truth that hides in the dark

Strengthen my skin and bones, and most importantly my soul,

Make something good for my heart

Making our house into a home

Making a family of our own

Never thought when we met at that park

We’d be making something so good for the heart

Barely recognize the man I used to be

I’m stronger and wiser too

Guess all it takes and some melting and spooning

Till I become something new

Guess you extended my shelf life

Bottled me up into a jar

Without all the clarifying you’ve done to my spirit baby

Don’t know if I would have come this far

Making our house into a home

Making a family of our own

Never thought when we met at that park

We’d be making something so good for the heart
