Three Wishes
I went for a walk
beneath a night’s lonely sky.
I was missing my love
when a glimpse caught my eye.
A falling star fell
from heavens, dark above.
So I closed my eyes, made a wish,
for my long-lost love.I saw a fountain pool
while strolling through a mall.
Reached in my pocket,
the fount seemed to call.
I closed my eyes, tossed a coin,
and craved this special wish:
to once again, very soon, feel her gentle kiss.Then it was my birthday,
and Mother baked a cake.
Before I blew out the candles,
I had this wish to make:
Wherever you are, my love,
wherever that may be,
know how much I love you
and please come back to me.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.
