You do not need to earn the way I feel;
My love is constant, and is freely given.
Therefore it is a thing you cannot steal:
The motivations for it are self-driven
And having it needs no justification.
So do not worry when I turn to you
With eyes filled with an unexplained elation.
It's only that I love you, as I do,
Not by the commerce of dessert and merit
But by love's grace and all-consuming power
Which opens up itself to those who share it
And falls upon them in an endless shower
Not motivated by what some might see
As earned, but by love's reciprocity.
