The Samaritan Woman (A Sonnet) Poem by Barry Blander

So wearied, Jesus sat by Jacob's Well.
Parched, a Samaritan woman with jug
Approached to draw water; as in a spell
Toward this poor Man she felt her heart tug
Jesus said: 'Give me a drink of water.'
'How is it, that you, a Jew, speak to me? '
'Salvation is of the Jews, oh daughter.'
Enlightened, this was the Christ, she could see.
He knew everything she ever did
Her soul, fallowed, ready to be seeded
Living in sin, from the Lord, was not hid
He gave His Living Water she needed
Refreshed now, to Him would she her heart yield
From the disease of sin would she be healed.
