Something I wrote for English that I really liked. France to Jeanne d'Arc. (Joan of Arc)


Oh, my love
Why were you prosecuted?
Why were you tried when all you were doing
Was for the greater good?
My love,
You saved my land,
My country,
My home
From obvious annihilation.
I thank you
All of us thank you.
My question is,
Why must you have died
For us to live?
My love,
You were strong.
You were loved.
You were my queen.
You led us to victory,
While you were accused
Of crimes that you didn't commit
Of crimes you would never commit
I know you are with Him.
I know He is keeping you safe for me.
I live on,
Each day knowing
That you are with Him,
And that someday
We will meet again.
My love,
I miss you with every shred of my being.
All of us miss you.
We miss all that you stood for.
Your courage.
Your loyalty.
Your love.
I love you with every bit of my soul
I always will
My only solace
Is knowing that you are in a better place.
There will be no more battles you must win
No more blood that you must spill.
You are at peace
And that,
My love,
Is all I should ask for.
