The Debt of Love

Whoever loves me, I owe them a debt,
though often love's a hard gift to repay,
for love is given not for what You get,
yet love attracts an answer to its sway,
All undeserving I'm unworthy of
the love I've been allotted near or far,
and whether from down here or up above,
I haven't earned this feeling like a star.
Love draws a strong desire from its charm
to render love back to those loving me,
and try hard not to do them any harm,
what's best for them can be a mystery.
If I can't bring them love for all my care,
 let me at least bring God to them in prayer.
