Believe me when I don't say
I am approaching this with
serious trepidation.
Hesitate, please.
I am looking for an opportunity
to rouse the rest of me and
talk things over,
but the collection is time consuming,
I know,
but please give me the benefit of doubt
within myself, because, if I
screw up,
it will take longer for me to forgive myself
than it will take you
to upbraid me.
