My Last Four Words
I yearn to say just four words
before my time to die
And if you ever hear these words
you’ll know the reasons whyThese four words I do treasure
and I trust someday you’ll see
that the value in these words
are worth more to you than meI yearn to say just four words
and pray they end our strife
I fear these words will go unsaid
the remainder of my lifeThese four words I hold dear
and hope they will be heard
but first I need to hear from you
before my final wordI yearn to say just four words
before it’s time to go
If you show that you don’t care
these words you’ll never knowBut if you want to hear these words
this is what you do
Speak the three forgotten words
before my “I love you too”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.
