Keeper of the Woods

Keeper Of The Woods By: Kitty Jones 4-2-1993 He stands 7 ft. 8 or so we are told, When they tell us the stories of long ago. At night he roams through the woods with care, Loving on every creature, all that is there. People say he’s a big strong man, Big broad chest, yet long thin hands. They say when the night it clear And the stars are shining so. If you listen really close you can hear him talking to Doe’s. They call this man the Keeper of The Woods. Mans ways about life he never understood. They spoke of him as being gentile and loving in all his ways. Giving back the gift of life that God had given him every day. His love was shared with everything around From the birds in the air to the grass on the ground. I was told a story of someone setting a fire, The flames would not go out they just kept getting higher. The fire burned 3 days and nights, Killing everything, nothing left in sight. They say at certain times of the year as you look across the land You can see the figure of a 7ft 8 inch man. And if you come back 3 days later you’ll be amazed at what you see. A 7ft 8 inch man crying on his knees. I don’t think that anybody really understood. The simple loving blessed life of the Keeper of the Woods.
