A Kiss
By Steve Loggins
To
kiss the face of one who loves us with unfailing love,
Is
a privilege of the highest sort, a gift from God above,
A
lover’s kiss can mean the world, a mother’s kiss can soothe
A
stranger’s kiss is not comfortable, away from it we move,
But
to kiss the face of Jesus, is a privilege none can claim,
Except
for Judas Iscariot, betrayal is his fame.
It
seems so strange that a kiss should be the signal of that deed,
It
makes you wonder how it worked to fulfill God’s prophecies.
A
kiss should be a sign of love, affection, and of joy,
Instead
of darkened deeds of lust, a kiss should not destroy.
To
kiss the one who loves us all for a purpose dark and bad,
Is
an affront to love’s own dignity, it makes the viewers mad,
To
think that such a simple act could set in motion death,
To
the lover of the kisser’s soul, to the one who paid our debt.
I’m
just a foolish writer, with a modest intellect,
But
even I can tell you, that a kiss should never wreck
A
person’s life, a person’s home, a person’s livelihood,
But
a foolish kiss can do it, a kiss misunderstood.
So
take your care to kiss the ones who love you in return,
And
never with a motive that other’s can’t discern.
