I was going on my way, as my legs took,
As in my hand was a book.
In the book, Iwas reading about a crook,
And his tales made me shook.


Tripping on my own steps,I fell into the river,
The cold water made me shiver.
Splashing around swimming to the bank,
But failed as my mind went blank.


Coming into my senses, I saw a beautiful lady,
As she cared about me like I was her baby.
I went stunned by her beauty,
Caring about me as it was her duty.


She came to me,closing the gap,
As she made me lay on her lap.
She pat my head by herself,
As I wake up alone, by myself.
