Joan
Martyr for eternity a victor of war, burned at the stake
a young women of God's grace
she rightly took her place years later
as a Catholic Saint
Though persecuted, victimized and tortured
she never gave up her rightfully place
as visions continued with brilliance and grace
of a castle in the air it's presence no longer disguised
"The Maid of Orleans", from a poor farmer bred of French descent
she never accepted downfall or dread
blood of a legacy that will never pass on
only in history books to discover her fore
A song that will always sing from the river of Seine
her ashes will always remain from the people who were unkind
for a glorious young lady so majestic and immortalized
her spirits vitality will forever shine.
