Eric
Defending his home and country
On the altar of freedom
His young life was sacrificed
A Mother's despair
Is born with death
Never extinguished by words
Gallant service is recognized
Homage and praises arise
A name punched into stone
A mother is left with words,
Words of honor that cushion
The road from despair to rememberance
