Summit walked down the hallway that night and went to the library. He grabbed one of his poetry books and sat down and started to write.

I have written like this before, but this time it applies to the story of my children. It is but a tribute. So I will start with Shakespeare's original words.

"Two households, both alike in dignity

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes

A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life,

Whose misadventures piteous overthrows"

Then my original play on this play went into this which still applies, but I have changed it slightly.

Sadly our adventures have been forced upon

They have been drawn to their fatal ends

Three stars hath been covered by darkness

Their light has been destroyed

And now it is my time to officially play on this from the beginning.

Three Children, all alike in dignity

From my destiny an ancient grudge was created

Now for my children

From an ancient grudge there breaks mutiny

There was not one civil thing in this story

There were no civil hands

And no civil blood

And all hands of those who killed

They were unclean

They killed those that were as pure as the water

But from the fatal loins of two

One was a child of mine

A daughter

The others father a foe

Like Romeo and Juliet

Oh this story was so full of Romeo and Juliet

But from those certain two

A child was born

A rose

A clover

Rose Clover

All three of my children though

They had their pair

And all pairs were crossed

Star crossed

My daughter and Ember

Star crossed

And their loins created Rose

My first Son and Ivy

Ivy will have her child too

Sadly my last son and his love Summer

They will not have their own

For they have both withered

The flowers of their children

The flowers have withered
