Give me a place where the sun shines
everyday I'm alive
Where the darkness never finds me
and I can always thrive
Give me a world that loves me
recognizing my gifts
A rocky road that's rewarding
where I can scale the cliffs
Give me a friend that shares with me
the things I am made of
An innocent mind a child’s heart
unconditional love
Give to me the tools I will need
to make it in this land
Then build foundations under me
upon which I can stand
Give me a place where I belong
one I can come back to
Whenever I have strayed too far
away from me and you
Give me a friend who'll guide my steps
so I won't wish to roam
As I'll then share my love with you
in this house we call home

This I believe is Drake's dream for himself and his mother. How I wish he were my own child as well as my friend. What is there to say of this extraordinary young man that I haven't already said? He is the brightest of light in this world. We choose our family as much as we create them. I saw in him the undeniable desire to dream. Because he is so like me. A mind that wanders the wonders of life at will. I wish you well Drake. May the quest for your hearts desires not be too easy. But instead be fulfilling and rich.
My friend Drake.
My friend Drake.
