Halo of a Hero
January 9, 2010
The soil beneath this plot
Its sparse, skeletal grains trembling;
Trying to withstand the Might of M. Rosenthal,
Who was born on March 21, 1925,
Possessing strength like Hercules,
Enough to fight in the war
As a Defender of this great country.

Meet a beautiful wife, have two innocent children
Then to Erect a home for them,
Serving as a Shield to his family.
With a silvery halo circling his head.

Taken with a fight in 20—
