Songs of Ascending Thoughts #3: First Love

You owe no one any thing,

You give value out of Your own.

Nothing that was made was made without You.

You are the Lender, never the debtor,

The Bless-er, never the lesser.

You can never benefit from anything or anyone,

for all benefit comes from You.

Love,

You gave without reason,

without return.

For Your own pleasure?

But all pleasure,

all things good comes from the Father.

For a reciprocation,

but what do You gain out of it?

At worst, You do the impossible: You lose something of Yours,

but only because You gave willingly.

At best, You gain a people who love You,

with the love that You first gave them.

The first cause without a cause,

the first Love that came out of its own.
