My name is Eric Schrag. I am currently a student at Emmaus Bible College in Bible Exposition and Exegesis. I am planning to continue my education in English Studies with the goal of becoming a Post-Secondary English Instructor. I have been writing poetry for many years but after the encouragement my most recent poetry has been to others who have also lost their parents, I have decided to at least make them available to the public. I hope you too are encouraged by my father's life as it is presented in these poems.
