singing the blues ... for the blues

Tonight, there is a benefit concert
a fundraiser for the agency that I work for,
plans have been in the works for months now
and tonight the big night is here ...

and I am going to miss out on it.
One of the hardest parts of being ill
is all of the things that I miss out on
all the things that I used to just take for granted
that I now must make almost major decisions about.
Should I or shouldn't I
even if I wear a mask
would it be safe or not ...

this is an event that I would have loved to have gone to ...
I love the music
but more than that I love the people
but it is those very same people who could
unknowningly put me into the hospital
and so tonight
I will sit at home
and maybe listen to my ipod
and dream of those days
when I will once again be able
to go out and listen to the blues
live, upfront and personal ...

someday ....
