19- Mary- Unlike her
19 May 1536

Understanding that my decisions could possibly have an impact on the outcome
Never realizing that the King could possibly change his mind against my pleas
Loving the King and my sister would never be enough because fate had been tested
In my heart I knew I did my best to save my sister for I did all that I could
Knowing that I could try all my might to not notice what was going on
Expect in front of me my sister still stood, ready to die, as the King wished

Her wisdom and grace in her final hours was a testament of strengthen and grit
Ending her life with a few careless words seems like it was all apart of a skit
Remembering the deaths of my brother and sister could never shake me out of my wits.
