I have outlined the story and hope it could become a novel and/or screen play. Who knows a screenwriter? I wrote this and registered it with the writer’s guild. The story needs to be told about the 30,000 vets on the street. It is a national disgrace.
The Search for SGT Drake
Her quest began in earnest, the mission very clear
A man for whom she searched and searched she thought was very near
She’d been through all the shelters, so many in L.A.
But her sixth sense had told her that today would be the day
As she walked by the homeless, it caused her heart to break
She held a picture, very old, a man named SGT Drake
And then she saw a certain man and she gave it a try
When she showed him the picture, the man began to cry
She hugged him and she promised no more days out on the street
Then said a prayer and thanked the Lord that they could finally meet
The man, of course, was curious from where this angel came
She told him a long story and her late grandpa’s name
Another hug, while crying, she whispered in his ear
“Had you not saved my grandpa’s life, then I would not be here”
