“Christmas Time” is a heartfelt reflection on the true meaning of the holiday season. The poem beautifully balances the joy and commercialism often associated with Christmas with a deeper message of faith, family, and remembrance.
Christmas Time
I’d like to take the time to share
what Christmas means to me.
A time to celebrate a birth
and spend time with family.Before there was a Santa Claus
and presents beneath a tree,
there was a loving Savior born
who died for you and me.Don’t get me wrong, I like the lights
and Rudolph makes me smile.
But take the time to worship God
you know it’s been a while.And take the time to remember those
who are no longer here,
despite the chance a memory
may sprout a sudden tear.And cherish those around you now,
’cause in the future, you’ll agree,
the gift that’s treasured most in life
is time with family.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.
