Sometimes I Forget- A Poem by David Ritter

As I approach two years of sobriety, I started realizing that I am quick to share how much AA, friends and family has helped me but sometimes “forget” how much God has helped me. I’m not sure why that is? I know there was a time I held resentments with God for things that has happened in my life, but I thought I had resolved them. Anyway, I’m sure I’m not the first person who has felt this way and by writing about Him, I hope and pray that God knows how grateful I am for all He’s done for me. Thank you for reading!

Sometimes I Forget

Sometimes I forget how far I have come
from a life that was living hell
And sometimes I forget to thank my God
who helped me enough to get well

Sometimes when my world was dark and bleak
God provided me light and hope
And when I fell into fits of despair
He held me ‘til I could cope

God sheltered me from the frantic storms
that abruptly changed my life
Then gently guided me back on the road
that led me away from strife

God has carried me over vast mountains
He’s pulled me from the raging sea
He’s charged into tremendous battles
to insure my victory

God loved me when I didn’t deserve it
and never showed signs of regret
He’s never considered giving up on me
I must never again forget!
