Lyrics by Andrew Mc McCluskey

If Joan of Arc had a heart,
Would she give it as a gift
To such as me who longs to see,
How a legend oughta be

Had dreams to give her heart away,
Like an orphan along the way
She cared so much,
She offered up her body to the grave

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an on-going project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever growing love of poetry.
