The Speaking Wood

For years, I have stood here, right where I am now. I have experienced various seasons and times. I cannot even begin to count the number of people I have known, some who passed by and some that left a footprint.

Though, everyday is a new learning for me, I have never spoken in all these years, however, I now think if I could speak to those who rest under my shade, if I could tell them something that would make their day, give them strength, give them the reason to carry on, then I would feel elated about my existence.

and I know that there are enough and many resources that impart wisdom, am I just another one of them, no I am not, I am not wise and I do not impart any wisdom, I speak from what I have learnt on ways to make life simple. Of course, what I speak has often been spoken, written and narrated but the relentless optimist in me says, what if you have not heard those other resources or what if what I say makes more sense at this time because you need to listen to this now, then I'd be depriving myself of that joy of  a blessing. You see, I am a collector of blessings! I feel it is the most precious thing I have by God's grace.

Hence, the speaking wood was born,  if you have read my words and benefited from them in any manner at all, big or small then I the speaking wood would have achieved my purpose. Do leave your footprints, I need to listen too

Sincerely,
The Speaking Wood
