“When My Heart Lacks” is a heartfelt exploration of faith and resilience. Through candid introspection, the poem delves into moments of doubt and despair, ultimately finding solace and strength in divine grace and human connection.
When My Heart Lacks
When my heart lacks faith
and I struggle day by day
God still blesses me
in His own glorious wayWhen my heart lacks peace
from the battles deep within
God shelters me with grace
protecting me from sinWhen my heart lacks hope
and I want to run and hide
God’s care surrounds me
we walk onward side by sideWhen my heart lacks joy
in my moments of despair
God listens to words
of every tear-soaked prayerWhen my heart lacks love
with no light at tunnel’s end
God brightens the way
by sending you… my friendDavid 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.
