Can love be earned, or given for a fee?
Is it deserved, won by an effort, or
Delivered up by strong necessity?
Is it not, instead, greater and more,
Exceeding all that may have come before,
Unequalled by a cause proximally,
Given from a transinfinite store,
Unclaimed by worthiness, and given free?
Love must exceed the bounds of the exchange,
Supererogatory, past all claim
Of tit for tat, exigency, or blame,
Free and unbounded, weird, wild, and strange.
It is unequal grace, blessed from above
To give oneself in perfect, open love.
