THE CARE TAKERS

 Did you know that up in the mountains?

deep inside the forest

where sometimes the green color of the leaves

the bushes and grass turns black by the density of the fauna

live the care takers of the mountains.?

Yes is true

they are there, close to the trees

who are the gentle giants

wall of  wood protecting the animals

under the watchful eyes of the stars.

Only kids like you

with pure souls

with humble hearts

could see them on the branches

on the leaves and the roots.

They sleep during the day

the little men dressed in green, black and red

they jump from tree to tree

while singing and dancing

under the spell of light

of her majesty the moon.

They are light as bird feathers

they are invisible during the day

only you can see them with your child eyes

and they know when you are in the mountains

so they put a show for you

they fly the butterflies

they glide the leaves to the ground

they are tiny angels with blue faces.

Now that you know who lives there remember this:

The breeze you feel by the trees and the whisper of the wind

comes from them, they are like you and me, they love to touch your hair

your face, this is why they blow in your face the scent of pine

that make you come back to the outdoors and make you happy

until you are ready to be a man.

The End
