I fell into the river
One peaceful summer's day
Whilst gazing upwards at the Sky
My foot it lost its way
A clumsy mistake that it was
I did not come up to harm
But all the fishes in that stream
Were caused a great alarm

I fell into a river
The voyeurs that they all laughed
Was that chap unlucky
Or was he acting daft
A quiet day a sudden splash
It caused more than a ripple
If the river had been deeper
The fall could surely cripple

I fell into a river
The ripples soon will cease
The fish will calm themselves down
And then returns the peace
The voyeurs stopped their laughter
One checked I was OK
I went and drank some orange juice
And thought about the day

I fell into a river
And failed to swim or sink
It served a greater purpose
It made me stop and think
I'd gazed up at the heavens
And then became aware
Of God's wonders and beauty
Today's a day for prayer

This is an actual account of what happened to me on the 15.08.08 whilst on holiday in France with friends. (The photo I took is of the bridge)
