One Last Walk- A Poem by David Ritter

“One Last Walk” is a poignant and heartwarming poem inspired by a child’s innocent perspective on death. Through the eyes of a young girl, the poem offers a comforting and hopeful view of her grandfather’s passing, painting a picture of a peaceful transition to heaven.

One Last Walk

We had my father’s funeral today
And it really made me sad
Afterward my little daughter
Spoke these words about my dad
She said daddy don’t you worry now
There’s no need for you to cry
I know that Grandpa rests in heaven
And I’ll be glad to tell you why

You always said that grandpa walked
And talked to God each day
I think that during one of these walks
Grandpa had much to say
They walked and talked for hours
‘til Grandpa was finally spent
So God invited him home with Him
And Grandpa happily went

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.
