I care not for your endless bargaining
and in the name of what?
Vanity, pridefulness and you
bound and determined
to do it all without me.
Pick your own partner
if you so choose
but stop and think
of all who lose their way
because you were not here
and allowed all manner of things
to interfere with what God sent us to do.

I care for the mission that matters.
Do you?

I care not for your tireless defense, all
the running in circles around
infinite possibilities save one
true thing growing old but pure
of heart, having stood at the ready
for all these years here
with all the pieces slipping,
slipping through time.
Never mind the love.
What in the name of God 
would have you think you stand above,
outside the clear command he gave?

I care for the mission that matters.
Do you?
