*This poem is dedicated to a young girl who passed away from cancer, Talia Joy. Her "motto" was Just Keep Swimming.


Just Keep Swimming


What would you do

With only 14 years?

Would you give them your all

Or hide from your fears?


Through Talia's long journey

Her spirit constantly shimmering

She always found a way

To just keep swimming.


Much of her life

Was a game of survival

An ongoing war

With cancer as her rival.


She would just keep swimming

To make it through the day

But with such a great sickness

She found no way.


Finally she knew

It was the end of her battle

So she went on a trip

Up to God's castle.
