Sonnet 71710 (I'm OK, Just Listening to the Blues)

Just because I like the blues and old twang
And I like the way they make me reflect
Doesn't mean I am unhappy today
Just that I view my past with due respect

Life teaches us that we will lose sometimes
But that is not always such a bad thing
I can relate to Hank Williams Senior
And get the point when I hear BB King

If life was not hard or full of losses
Robert Johnson would not have had a voice
If none ever had to bear life's crosses
Then cheerful songs would be our only choice

I prefer today's music as a whole
Its the sad songs that pierce my very soul.
