Remembering Mom

In memory of
Pauline Ann Marra Hardesty
June 2nd, 1946 - August 10th, 1998

As I sit here trying to decide what to write about

I found it

There is a golden yellow rose

My mom's favorite flower

Laying on a plaque

With the Beatitudes in memory of her

Just to the left of it is a beautiful flower arrangement

Just like what I would see when walking

Through Waccamaw

Mom's favorite store

Then comes the candy dish

Filled with candy

Mom loved candy but couldn't eat it

Because she was diabetic

Then next to that is my algebra book

Mom always helped me with math

She was a very smart lady

Then behind the awesome reminder is a couch

Old but in good condition

It has been in this house since my mom way born

It has four pillows on it now

With a big stuffed teddy bear

Only reminding me

She was a great big teddy bear at heart

Her death so broke my heart

Only to cancer did I lose her

She is still with me in my heart

And is with me till my bitter part
