In her youth she was super athletic
played many sports
worked out three times a week
jogged every day

She was in excellent shape
all of her life
lean, strong and energetic

but at age 70 medical conditions
starting assailing her
until at age 75
she couldn’t walk
without a walker and
took twelve pills to keep her
dying body alive

a fate she never thought
would happen to her
given how she always
exercised and took good
care of herself
