“Mourning Glory” is a poignant exploration of grief and the journey towards healing. Through vivid imagery and raw emotion, the poem captures the depths of despair experienced by the speaker. Yet, it ultimately offers a message of hope and redemption as the speaker finds solace and comfort in their faith.
Mourning Glory
My room so cold and lonely,
teardrops flood my eyes.
The rain outside descending
from dark and stormy skies.I sit alone and ponder
on good times that used to be,
but the only days I have now,
fill up with misery.I try accepting what’s happened
make plans for coming years,
but every passing moment
only brings new tears.I sit here by my window
with rain slowly falling,
as I close mourning eyes
I realize someone’s calling.I wipe the hurt from my face,
and bow my head to pray.
At last I turn to the Son,
who dries my tears away!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.
