True Friends
Friends will come and friends will go
like the passing years
But true friends stand the test of time
through smiles and through tears
In both good times and the bad
a true friend is always there
To share a laugh or wipe a frown
and show how much they care
In a world where life is tough
and people grow unkind
I have learned without a doubt
true friendship’s hard to find
This is why when late at night
before my prayer ends
I thank God with all my heart
for my truest friends
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.
