Poem

This is my favorite children's poem! I remember Mom reading it to me. She's such a good reader too!

Winken, Blinken, and Nod

Winken, Blinken, and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe --
Sailed off on a river of crystal light,
Into a sea of dew.

"Where are you going, and what do you wish?"
The old moon asked the three.
"We have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in the beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we!"
Said Winken, Blinken, and Nod.

The old moon laughed and sang a song,
As they rocked in the wooden shoe,
And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew.

The little stars were the herring fish
That lived in the beautiful sea --
"Now cast your nets wherever you wish --
Never afeard are we";
So cried the stars to the fisherman three:
Winken, Blinken, and Nod.

All night long their nets they threw
To the stars in the twinkling foam --
Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe
Bringing the fisherman home;

'Twas all so pretty a sail it seemed
As if it could not be,
And some folks thought 'twas a dream they'd dreamed
Of sailing that beautiful sea --
But I shall name you the fishermen three:
Winken, Blinken, and Nod.

Winken and Blinken are two little eyes,
And Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoes that sailed the skies
Is the wee one's trundle-bed.

So shut your eyes while mother sings
Of wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
As you rock in the misty sea,
Where the old shoe rocked the fisherman three:
Winken, Blinken, and Nod.

My little Niece!

I saw my Sister's blog today and she had a picture of her soon to be born daughter on there. She's going to be so cute! She'll be such a bundle of joy and sunshine! =D We all can't wait to see her!

Sunshine!

I love sunny days, or at least it's mostly sunny.

So, what do you like to do when there's not much going on and you're at home all day? =) Right now I'm listening to some music that the Bent Tree Bible Fellowship sings. (A lovely thing iTunes is). I'll have to figure out what to do after that... Yesterday I watched Star Trek VI: An Undiscovered Country on YouTube. It's a movie that was made in 1991. Anyways, what do you do?

"All you need is love..."

Happy Valentines Day everyone!!

Today's been an awesome day of "feeling the love". Everyone's getting flowers, cards, cupcakes and candy! So, the moral of the story is: "Pass the Cheer".
