The Forest Guardian
Uploaded: October 21, 2009
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!

Fantastic artwork Laura! Truly beautiful! #8061254Laura E. Swan October 22, 2009
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?
