Description

The Woods Are Filled With Many Things,
We Never Know What They Will Bring.

We Dance and Sing and Enjoy Our Play
But Things Can Turn The Other Way.

Each Of Us, Child, Woman and Man
NEEDS THE FOREST GUARDIAN.

Good Health To Us She Watches Over.
She's Better Than A Four Leaf Clover!

OMG!!! Finally!!! Our Gardian.
So did we make it, Sis?
Did we make it out of the woods??
I see light ahead! Or is that the moonlight?
I can't tell.
Look how pretty our gardian is. Wait!!! She looks just like you, SSSL. Another sister???????? #8057460

We never know what evil lurks;
For all of us, this guardian works.
She'll watch us as we make our way
And warn us should we go astray.

Another terrific addition to this wonderful series, Laura! #8058774

Thank you everyone. I loved your comments. Each one of them!

I am glad our guardian is here, too, in the safety and kindness of the trees. I feel much better now. I know you do, too!

I feel sleepy now. Maybe we should all get some much needed rest.

Queen Kewpie said we are almost out of the woods. The guardian told her!

SHE PUT A CROWN ON QUEEN KEWPIE AND QUEEN KEWPIE TRANSFORMED INTO AN EMPRESS in The Guardians Realm!

!!!WAIT TO SEE!!!

Hurray!!!!!!!!!

Now it's time to figure out our costumes! Does everyone know what they are wearing to the Haunted Mansion?
