Winkin' Blinkin' and Nod, one night Sailed off in a wooden shoe;
Sailed 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've come to fish for the herring fish that live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we' said Winkin' Blinkin' and Nod.

The old moon laughed and he sang a song as they rocked in the wooden shoe.
And the wind that sped them all night long ruffled the waves of dew.
Now the little stars are the herring fish that live in that beautiful sea;
'Cast your nets wherever you wish never afeared are we!'
So cried the stars to the fishermen three - Winkin' Blinkin' and Nod.

So all night long their nets they threw to the stars in the twinkling foam.
Then downward came the wooden shoe bringing the fishermen home.
Twas all so pretty a sail it seemed as if it could not be.
And some folks say twas a dream they dreamed of sailing that misty sea.
But I shall name you the fishermen three - Winkin' Blinkin' and Nod.

Now Winkin' and Blinkin' are two little eyes and Nod is a little head.
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies is a wee one's trundle bed.
So close your eyes while mother sings of the wonderful sights that be.
And you shall see those beautiful things as you sail on the misty sea.
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three - Winkin' Blinkin' and Nod.

Thats a poem I remember from my childhood. It's always funny to look back at times like that, and almost cry to think you were so happy all of the time, and then, to be sucked back into a world of reality where you know things aren't as innocent as they once were. Your friends are tormented, which in turn torments you, more so than what yoiu already were. I miss everyone so much, and Kim, I hope you're okay. I know how hard this is for you right now, but remember, we are here for you, and we only want the best for you.

Be good, be happy, much love.
