Our Journey’s End
If it should be that I grow weak
and my time on earth must end
I’d have you know you gave me strength
by being my best friendMy body will no longer hurt
when life on earth is done
Despite the pain in recent years
I still enjoyed each oneYou will be sad this I know
our closeness will be missed
But treasure all the memories
and don’t let grief persistI know with time you’ll cheer up
that’s what I admired about you
that when our days were the darkest
your courageous light shined throughSo wipe away each solemn tear
and replace it with a smile
’cause few have walked in love like us
And I cherished every mileDavid 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.
