Roads are path, firm and true,
Rivers flow, coming through.
One guides with a steady hand,
The other wanders, across the land.

The other meanders, a gentle grace.

The other drifts, drawing near.

Roads, they stretch with asphalt's might,
Rivers, flow with nature's light.
Roads, they carve through hills and plains,
Rivers, wind with gentle strains.

Both together, ways we tread,

In their balance, journeys spread.
Roads and rivers, life they weave,
In their paths, our dreams achieve.
