Only the Body Recycles

The body approaches its end

with destiny around the bend.

What could our own destiny be

and could it occur without me?

The body isn’t all i am.

If it was i’d be in a jam.

I couldn’t live eternally

unless i have the rest of me.

I think of my spirit and soul

as more than a temporal role.

So, i don’t think i am dying.

I can exist without trying.

I know my attitude will give

reasons which make me want to live.
