Keep on Swimming
“Just keep swimming” is a popular phrase in the movie Finding Nemo,
It is Dory’s way of encouraging her friend to continue to
go,
Dory, with short-term memory loss, defines a resilient human
spirit,
She is the epitome of an inspirer; one who sticks with it,
She reminds me of my husband who like Dory, lost his memory,
But fortified everyone around him with his Dory-like energy,
He knew by name who was there when visitors came to call,
But after they left, the fact they were there, he could not
recall,
He was happy, just like Dory, with a big smile on his face,
And he knew the finish line was near; but still he ran the
race,
I know he would want us all to just keep swimming on,
In the race he ran, he figuratively handed us the baton,
Perseverance is a choice we make; when life gets us down,
Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming; wipe away the frown,
I hope you get that song stuck in your head, just like Nemo
did,
It’s awesome to learn a life lesson from a movie made for
kids:
Dory says:
“Just keep swimming;
Just keep swimming;
Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming;
What do we do?
We swim, swim,
Ho, ho ho ho! I love to swim!
When you waaaaant to swim- You want to keep on swimming,
See?”
This movie was ultimately made for you and me!
