FATHER IN HEAVEN
Father in heaven, please forgive my sin,
I haven’t prayed since I don’t know when.
And as a result, my life is a mess,
in need of forgiveness, I confess.Father in heaven, please hear my plea.
I’m now left blind, and unable to see.
I traveled the world, in search of hope,
and fell in a pit, unable to cope.Father in heaven, please hear my cry.
I need your help, or I could die.
Give me the strength, to break the chain,
to unlock my heart, that feeds my brain.Father in heaven, answered my prayer,
and blessed my life, so I can share,
how out of the pit, he delivered me,
and smashed the chains for victory!David Ritter 2/18/2021

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.
