Sugarland a Children's Fable

Sugarland where fairies dwell Gingerbread men protect it well Giant mushrooms keep off the rain Redwood trees the fairy domain Buried deep from human eyes A city made where fairies fly Protecting the forest from evil foes This, their job only few can know For at the bridge you cannot pass All-powerful Trolls still stand fast Firefly lanterns will forever last Mystical daydreams here are cast Sunbeams float on a peppermint mist Sugar land’s quiet as a morning kiss Fairies fly deep into hidden homes Trolls give the day to the gnomes. Firefly lanterns snuff out their flames Elf’s and Imp’s come out for games Wizards rule and harbor the day Fairies rule the forest so they say Close your eyes and dream with me Lollipops, candy canes, Can you see Dusk falls,fairies scurry,Trolls in sight Firefly lanterns light up the night Always watching over you with grace Keeping all safe in this magical place Fairies sprinkle sleepy dust in your eyes Sleep little one,in your dreams fairies fly.
