Story of My Life

A Myriad of loving voices echo through my memories 
Ghosts of those who touched my soul
And gifted me their legacies
Along the way there has been reckless peril on my stormy seas
There was but one who Salvaged me 
Who saved me from my misery 
Anchored me and kept me safe
and now at last I get to taste 
The comfort of a warm embrace 
For now I live without disgrace
