With No Exceptions

Long before there was a you I knew,
My mind had been fixed upon...
What it is I do.

And for you to feel in my life,
You are not prioritized.
We...
That's not true.

You are!
You have become a part,
Of what has already existed.

However...
If you believe you've earned the right,
To be there on my mind all the time?
You may eventually discover,
You are not there at all.

Like I said...
Long before there was a you I knew,
My mind had been fixed upon...
What it is I do.
And what it is I do will get done,
With no exceptions.

'You're not even making any money from it.'

Oh?
And spending all my time with you,
Is a treasure trove?
I thank God I am blessed to know 'my' priorities!
