Sunlight Through Cracked Walls

If you could have something named after you, what would it be?

Sometimes I catch myself thinking about legacy. Not the grand, Shakespeare-in-the-library kind, but the smaller, quieter kind. You know—the little things that don’t make headlines but make mornings a little warmer.

So here’s a thought: if I could have something named after me, I think I’d go with a shed. Not a fancy one. Not the kind with solar panels and Wi-Fi. Just a shed. A simple, weathered shed tucked in a backyard somewhere, maybe leaning slightly to one side, filled with tools, a bit of sawdust in the corners, and sunlight streaming through the cracks in the walls.

Why a shed? Because it’s a place that quietly holds things together. A space where ideas get built, where projects start with a plan and a bit of elbow grease, where the world slows down enough for hands to do their honest work. It’s humble. It’s practical. It doesn’t demand attention—but if you know it, you know it.

So yeah, if I had something named after me, let it be a shed. A small space that stands steady while the seasons roll on, a place that whispers, “Here’s where a bit of ordinary magic happens.”

Stay safe

About Bob W Christian

I’m Bob Christian; a husband, father, grandfather and cat dad. I’m a dyslexic poet. I am on the Autism Spectrum and I started writing poetry, or scribbles as I’ve always referred to them, to help me to process my thoughts and emotions. It’s also helped with my PTSD. It’s gone from there and after over 20 years is still going strong, I’m now finally dabbling in to photography as I’ve been told I have a good eye.
