Sounds like you're a perfect candidate for the Wellesley fund. VWINX It's an excellent fund that I've owned for several years. I find it's a great fund to build up your roth balance before spreading into more funds/stocks.

I'm no investing wizard, but VWINX seems to badly underperform compared to the Vanguard target retirement date funds (and lots of other funds too).

I was basing my recommendation off the OP's listed risk profile. When I initially started my Roth, it was also my emergency savings so I lowered my risk level. Once my Roth balance grew enough, I shifted to a more aggressive posture. Like I mentioned in my comment.
