A little Piece of Wood


                   A Little piece of wood
 
  A little piece of wood that will create an chemical reaction holds my life in it's stem when lit.
 
With it I can renew my body, mind and soul. I can hunt for food and feed myself, I can quench my thirst, and  warm my body while calming my spirit. 
 
Without this stem of life, I will lose my strength to fight, my desire to believe and perhaps fade way.
 
A little piece of wood that will spark life into me and reach into my very soul, rearranging my thought and attitude.
 
Will I let this little piece of wood die and fade way? or  
 
Will it match my motivation and push me to survive?
 
There is a little piece of wood in all of us, lite your MATCH and take it with you, I'm bring it with me on my adventure, my desert Island adventure !
