I've dreaded this; it will not be fun, <br />But the truth is it has to be done; <br />So with resolve, and determination, <br />I make my way in that direction. <br /> <br />I have been tempted, yes, it's true, <br />To close my eyes, and toss it from view; <br />But in many a tough situation, <br />I've gained from that strange collection. <br /> <br />I must deal with this without delay! <br />I must be strong... It must end today! <br />I weaken while at its contents I glance... <br />Can I let go? I can't take that chance! <br /> <br />So, I push it safely back in place, <br />I leave it, for now, I need my space; <br />Soon I'll muster the courage once more, <br />To finally clean out that old junk drawer.<br /><br />Loyd C.
