Dedication: The House Of Teodore Poem by Jordan Legaspi

You are my best friend
prince from the gray castle you dwell
knight, armored from your own fate
-the ups and downs that gave you a crown

Princess from the empty tower; you watch from afar
waving the banner of your heart so tender and warm
reaching out to the restless nobles
counting your beads each night and day

At all course you are a luxurious duke
Elegant, you are the elite fruit
who traveled with wagon of treasure but of no direction
great you are but cannot play the flute

Noble I saw your bearing
second rank next to the king; guardian of the doors
authority hanged at your finger, ringed as destined to rebel
against your own house, the cause of your fall

Dream of a castle where I saw the fantasy of life
find many passages to build fortress
to live in a house were everybody wears a mask
with the queen our loving mother

The house that bares my name and hid the zeal
of the king who wondered from afar
and made a father the great man of many dreams
the cause of his fall even to untie his own shoes

Dedication: The House of Teodore

Knight in the gray castle
-the forth child; favorite brother, and a loving-compassionate friend to the author
Princess in the empty tower
-the third child and the only sister and daughter in the family;
the most religious in the family, and very dear to all members of the family
Luxurious duke
-the second child; womanizer and richly in his bearings
Guardian of the doors
-the first born; not so close to the author;
The loving queen
-the mother to the author;
The wondering king
-the father to the author
