Today's Word Is...

 

 

Draw ye near hither,

I will tell to you a tale

And if you do not like it,

Send me an email.

 

Words intrigue me:

Today’s word is draw,

I checked the Bible for it

There were 76 in all.

 

Draw your conclusion

Only after each context

And by the end of this poem

See how many you get.

 

So far there are three:

Draw, draw and draw,

One in each foregoing verse

But these are not all.

 

 

I will draw you a picture

Though only in words

But it will set you straight

How this occurred.

 

Lisa went to the well

But the bucket was missing,

She could draw no water;

It was quite distressing.

 

Draw away for a bit

And give it some thought,

Come with up with a solution

Rather than be distraught.

 

On finding the culprit

He went to draw his sword

But consider it

An act he could ill afford.

 

Not a breath could he draw

Without Almighty God

So, to take a life, he decided,

Could never be his call.

 

To draw him out

They set up a decoy,

It was the better thing to do

As he fell for the ploy.

 

He was put on a cart

Horses were used to draw

And taken before the judge

For breaking the law.

 

Draw nigh to God

And He’ll draw nigh to you

Draw also on His strength

To do what you must do.

 

If a man is to come to God

The Son must draw him

And for a man to go to the Son

The Father must draw him.

 

Let us draw near

And that with a true heart,

The just shall live by faith

And from God never part.

 

Draw after draw after draw

And each in its own context

Did you draw a conclusion?

Or, is this too complex?

 

 

Draw me a picture

Like you see me draw

And to draw my attention to it,

Give me a call.

 

I’ll draw a cup of tea

And you can draw one too

But whatever you draw from this

I am finally through.
