“A Decision to Change” is a heartfelt exploration of spiritual transformation. The poem chronicles a personal journey of finding faith and experiencing the profound impact of a newfound relationship with God.
(One of the first poems I ever wrote as a teenager.)
A Decision to Change
A change came upon me one glorious day.
It lifted me up, helped change my ways.It took this troubled heart and filled it with love.
No doubt in my mind it was the Lord from heaven above.I opened my heart and let Him come in.
He changed my life, washed away my sins.He touched me in a way I can’t explain.
He helped comfort my heart, helped heal the pain.He gave me the message “Come walk with me”,
and “You shall receive eternal life, you shall be set free.”Hearing this message, I could not turn away.
And with this change, I’m happy to say,“The choice was mine; at first, I admit I was afraid.
But I chose to serve the Lord – the best decision I ever made.”David Ritter

BOTTLED MEMORIES
These stand-alone poems were written over many years. While individually they describe the conflicts associated with alcoholism, when read together they reveal a more complete picture of the destruction, depression, and chaos of addiction, as well as the peace, hope, and joy of recovery. Although most of these poems pertain to my life, it is my hope that other people will relate to them also. It’s not only my story but the story of so many others.
