Eric
Defending his home, and country
on the altar of freedom
a sacrifice, his young life
A mother's despair
is born with death
never extinguished by words, they try
Gallantry is recognized
Homage and praises arise
Punched stone, finally bears his name
These words, a mother is left
Words of Honor, that cushion
the journey from despair to remembrance
