He had excellent health all his life
until he got old, age seventy-six.
Now he takes pills and see doctors,
despite all the years he worked out.
Old age is wrecking him and making
him old man scrawny and weak.
He looks forward to dying and leaving
his debilitating, old body.
He believes based on what he’s read
and heard about NDEs,
he’ll have a young and fresh spirit
body when he dies.
And he looks forward to leaving a world
and a body he no longer fits into.

Bob Boyd
