Salvage Life

Torn and tattered, broken and bashed, but never defeated I salvage life.
To give up is unacceptable, to run and hide despicable to me so I salvage life.
Times are not always good and circumstances not always fair I am happy to live.

Happy to say my pain won't win.

My smile gives me strength, a kind word to others builds them up.
I salvage life with smiles and kind words.
I salvage their lives, I am happy to live.
