Deep within the tall oak trees
mingled with the evergreens
sets a tiny cabin there
in the highest mountain fair.
It's snuggled in a highland clearing
nestled near a little stream.
Swirls of smoke rise from the chimney
climbing toward a soft moonbeam.
In this charming little dwelling
lives a quiet mountain man.
He toils away his nightly hours
working on his winter plan.
Then one night in late December
bundled up to chase the chill,
he sets out walking with his lantern
climbing up the snowy hills.
He scatters acorns, nuts and berries,
leaving salt licks on display.
Feeding all the woodland creatures,
working 'till the break of day.
He cares for all of God's creation.
This kindly gesture brings him peace;
to watch the birds, the deer and chipmunks
finding food in winter's fleece.
