One more time
holding her hand
lovingly, together
as she entered paradise
words unspoken
spoken with eyes
holding each other
as husband and wife
together in that moment
at peace and without pain
going before him
into paradise
July 10, 2010
Theodore “Ted” Louis Van Patten Sr.
describing his wife, Barbara Elaine Van Patten,
in the moment of her passing
from this world into paradise,
together, speaking with their eyes,
holding each other’s hand
