Drake

Drake and Dodger

To love beauty of pastured scene

as I would walk the path each day

To smell the wafting grasses green

remember where I use to play

 

In meadows I once lay my head

along beside the timeless brook

There I dreamed in my endless bed

until man's cruelty my dreams took

 

I grew weary of man's delight

in watching his brothers endure

I took no pleasure in god's sight

his beauties had lost all allure

 

Till the day I met Drake's gold heart

within him lay my own salvation

His love lent me a fresh new start

he is god's greatest creation

Author's Note

He is other than my own son the greatest
boy I have ever known.
In him I see a wondrous curiosity mixed in with mischievousness. He is Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn and Leonardo da Vinci all wrapped up in one little boy ! I might add he has put me in mind of a little Napoleon. He dreams of being king of the world someday soon. He says he might have to ban his mother from all of Christendom though. As she doesn't take orders well. We shall see who has the last laugh lol . Time will tell. But is it not from just such imaginings that empires rise, women swoon and dreams can come true? Possessed with the heart of a lion and the soul of a poet!!! I am proud to call him my friend and my Son!

It is really beautiful, the beauty and love that is the child. Well done.

[Helen Woodward]

Your passion and love of, not only Drake, but humanity shows here Tate. What a beautiful face and equally beautiful tribute. Sometimes in life we have those rare moments that capture all we missed previously.
Simply put...stunning!

Cheers~

We can learn much from children not yet prejudiced in any way

Such a stunning capture of innocence, children are the beauty of the world, and having my own two after a rough upbringing I can honestly say my faith was restored through living with them, discovering simple things, and loving their wonder and beauty.
This was beautiful, and Drake sounds like a blessing to you.

Very good poem.

[An owl on the moon]

What a wonder to see that child in you again through the eyes of another. We mustn't let that part of our hearts be stolen or destroyed. Must protect it always and let it grow strong daily. This is a beautiful, lifting call for each of us!

Children are the human beings adults should be.

'Drakes gold heart' - we need to nurture heart's like that, they're precious.

[Liz Alexander]

Your children are a reflection of who you are!
