'Mis-Placed Kiss' Poem by Linda Winchell

He placed a kiss upon the Saviors' cheek,
To show that He was the one to die.
Sold for a few pieces of silver coin,
A kiss from one who he denied.

He denied that he knew this king of kings,
The one who was without a blemished sin.
For this mis-placed kiss of betrayal given,
Was the first placed pain upon His skin.

For Jesus loved this follower of His,
Had known him for many years.
But before the kiss was planted on the Saviors' cheek,
Jesus shed this betrayal in each revealed tear.

For His Father had already shown Him,
Of all that was yet to come.
In the garden before the kiss was planted,
Jesus knew just what was done.

Taken away by an army of men,
To stand in judgement of the court.
Yet His fate was already sealed by a higher power,
All written down in the Holy Bibles' report.
