River slipped beneath the stone
Silver thread through earth and bone
Never begged the banks to part
Never strained its patient heart
Rocks once seemed to block its way
Water learned a softer sway
Curved around with quiet grace
Victory wore nature’s pace
Not a rush nor fierce demand
Flow obeyed its inner land
Every bend revealed a truth—
Persistence holds eternal youth
Go where depth outlasts the speed
Strength is calm in every need
Those who move like rivers do
Always reach the ocean’s blue
