LONGEVITY OR NOT? (5 Haiku)

Do you agree with Martin Luther King, Jr.,
that "Longevity has its place?"
How long do you want to live?

It's not how long you
 live, that matters; it's what you
do that really counts.

So living to be
forty is just as good as
living to eighty.

Grandma Moss did
her first painting at eighty
and more after that.

They say "It's not how
long you live," and I ask them
Why are you living?

On this life issue
I declare "Live all you can
as long as you can."

 Reviews of "LONGEVITY OR NOT? (5 Haiku)"
Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on February 20, 2013
I agree. Life's a gift, why waste it. My grandmother, in her seventies, became a big fan of grandma Moses. I know she corresponded with her, but I don't know if she acquired any of grandma Moses's paintings. Because we have a branch of the family that is Moses, grandma said that we were related to her. If grandma had any of her work, my uncle Ed, now 92 and still quite active, has it, because he was the one who collected all of her belongings when grandma died.
