Nd - Ablaze

Henry VI and Napoleon were crowned Kings there A hunchback found his lady fair, But heartbreak comes to Notre Dame As she is now in flames Joan of Arc, whose reputation was maligned Was beatified there in 1909 But heartbreak comes for Notre Dame As she is now in flames The flames have died, the lady stands She'll be restored and again be grand Where once, the hunchback, with heart aflame Found love and solace with this Dame 4-21-19 Notre Dame In The News Contest Sponsor: Kim Rodrigues

The fire @ Notre Dame has also appealed to your muse, Joseph. What a pity that years of history can be so easily erased! Regards // paul

Gosh, Joseph, I was there back in the 70's. I know I must have stood inside it, but I barely can recall it. I wish I had that "remembrance" of it to write a good a tribute as this one.

Notre Dame was eventful in history, saints and fiction and ts construction began 850 years ago. you have certainly epitomized this, Joseph!

The repetition of some of your thoughts makes this even more captivating. A love story that tugs deeply at the heart, yet there is a happy ending. "She'll be restored and again be grand" This is beautiful in every way. A winner!! Also a new favorite of mine, from you. ~ Brandy
