It Sets Our Dear Hearts Free
Big surprise, this poem's about love
Foremost on this old man's mind
Old but still a very passionate soul
In spite of the passage of time
Never realized that in our older years
That one only ages physically
Our minds, our hearts, our basic souls
Remains forever still free
Still free to think, to admire, to love
Just like in the prime of our life
Bodies weaken but minds grow stronger
Much more worldly in spite
As a younger man I was very insecure
Life has a way of changing us
Passage of time helps us gather strength
To deal with all the negative stuff
Still got a bunch of happiness to give
Heart's overflowing with glee
Really can't imagine a life without love
It's what sets our dear hearts free
