Moms Do Die
My friend buried his mother today
Which led me to these words to say
It hurt me to see him cry
A sad reminder that moms do dieA part of life we all must endure
As we grow old there’s one thing for sure
That loved ones will come and go
And the list in Heaven will continue to growAlthough it hurts to say good-bye
It doesn’t mean forever and I’ll tell you why
Because moms have an unconditional love
And are waiting for us in Heaven aboveOther friends have lost mothers too
If you’re lucky and this doesn’t include you
Take the time to say to your mother
I love you, Mom, like no otherMy friend buried his mother today
Which led me to these words to say
It hurt me to see him cry
A sad reminder that moms do dieDavid 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.
