I've lived in 1987 for the past two months,167Please respect copyright.PENANAtyoqTmfeNh
Every waking moment and in my every dream,167Please respect copyright.PENANADhWdxzHGjy
When sleep would finally come called by exhaustion,167Please respect copyright.PENANAzJZDRuerLu
As is still the case although the work is now done.167Please respect copyright.PENANATmP9A6nHns
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbhwdhpEtqf
Idealistic young lawyer,167Please respect copyright.PENANAVRlEZE7M9i
In his first posting as a dean,167Please respect copyright.PENANAVBWTROQYAg
In a for-profit business school,167Please respect copyright.PENANAAIHPXDCw3r
Naive voice crying in the wilderness.167Please respect copyright.PENANAQMD8WuncgY
167Please respect copyright.PENANA4k45EqxKVy
Worked very long hours,167Please respect copyright.PENANAO9alpHi83O
To change what was wrong,167Please respect copyright.PENANAtF4olPzXrq
Achieved great success,167Please respect copyright.PENANAxD4LVLmmdK
Which all came to naught.167Please respect copyright.PENANAgRiOwvS27K
167Please respect copyright.PENANAllCuVm0kOx
Made friends while tilting at windmills,167Please respect copyright.PENANANX8UVgpEf8
Stubbornly refusing to accept,167Please respect copyright.PENANAUuWodfpb5I
That which could be changed through simple hard work,167Please respect copyright.PENANAYmQxKS4E1x
That I believed would make real difference in others' lives.167Please respect copyright.PENANAy4BcdD1GjN
167Please respect copyright.PENANAyRnI9aeDAL
A classic clash of missions and visions,167Please respect copyright.PENANAdaaEoG44YO
Provides the factual drama--theirs, to maximize profits,167Please respect copyright.PENANAs2ByElbNnn
And deliver an education at the lowest possible cost,167Please respect copyright.PENANAVeFpx5kOUi
Mine to be in the business of changing lives for the better.167Please respect copyright.PENANAkzKJC3HgnJ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAY9pG0qIyhX
I implemented meaningful changes,167Please respect copyright.PENANA6uOCJYljwF
That brought unintended consequences,167Please respect copyright.PENANA4fxdUZJqLk
I found unacceptable, and personal conflicts,167Please respect copyright.PENANAEMS8L6MYrY
That caused me to resign while still on excellent terms.167Please respect copyright.PENANAppLVrS8oXD
167Please respect copyright.PENANAky3bo2AmKf
And I learned critical lessons,167Please respect copyright.PENANApKWlpS7NWd
Not just about an industry I did not know,167Please respect copyright.PENANAL9H0HQMEb3
But about myself, my strengths and my weaknesses,167Please respect copyright.PENANAKRMq9dxDAH
And about love that brought joy and pain that I can still feel.167Please respect copyright.PENANA4ALTgwYC62
167Please respect copyright.PENANAwUmk9pf4wD
I wrote through the night, composed at the keyboard,167Please respect copyright.PENANAYHo0bcmkfF
Sleeping only a few hours when my vision blurred,167Please respect copyright.PENANAaNwaWu1JVL
And I could not focus any more around 8:00 - 10:00 a.m.,167Please respect copyright.PENANA71yGeGEmY4
Then back to my keyboard and my previous life.167Please respect copyright.PENANAyg0pOj3k2B
167Please respect copyright.PENANAdvHvB4WZet
Ghosts long thought buried rose, warm flesh and blood,167Please respect copyright.PENANAAZG8Rlh8qQ
Old battles fought anew, old brown paths grew verdant,167Please respect copyright.PENANAZO4gAciqtS
Cold cinders rekindled, closed doors opened wide,167Please respect copyright.PENANAv0o2lBUMx9
Beckoned me to live for a time in what might have been.167Please respect copyright.PENANA7bs5ZrQ4PR
167Please respect copyright.PENANA4syR4NdGZC
Scars long ago faded opened up anew,167Please respect copyright.PENANAcmElh42t83
The heart cried tears of blood, and fiction,167Please respect copyright.PENANAkU41l399Ev
Much too close to truth flowed onto the page,167Please respect copyright.PENANARZRxpY4Vg7
Chasing sleep away long after the writing was done.167Please respect copyright.PENANAy5JkSWSkNJ
167Please respect copyright.PENANAHF8VzN42eZ
After two decades of gestation,167Please respect copyright.PENANAJfxhIvyk9u
I've now given birth to my first child,167Please respect copyright.PENANA0NMEvJvG0H
The afterbirth has been cleaned,167Please respect copyright.PENANA02dpoXnRsD
She is all pink, warm, and oh so cuddly.167Please respect copyright.PENANAE6CJnyCefP
167Please respect copyright.PENANA28vDVnejRw
I fell in love with her the moment167Please respect copyright.PENANAEWVz66E5eu
I stared into her huge, bright, old-soul eyes167Please respect copyright.PENANAFAW2r87A86
Her strong, tiny hand is now wrapped167Please respect copyright.PENANAui7XBC9aaE
Around all of my heart strings and will be for life.167Please respect copyright.PENANAlcELWNJfgc
167Please respect copyright.PENANAS8ykMvvgy7
Now I'm searching for a literary agent167Please respect copyright.PENANAAKUMiBNvK9
Sending tiny snapshots of my little girl167Please respect copyright.PENANA1jHraxwAsC
Hoping they will love her167Please respect copyright.PENANAEZsAnYCEja
But knowing they may not.167Please respect copyright.PENANA9W8Y4SQy6O
167Please respect copyright.PENANA7YBXtKVcob
If I can't send her off to finishing school,167Please respect copyright.PENANAARzUjoRVOy
I will home school her, teach her all I know,167Please respect copyright.PENANAKMwnixn72O
And ready her as best I can to face the world,167Please respect copyright.PENANAkQIBhmZsC6
Where she may not thrive but will always have my love.167Please respect copyright.PENANAWCOObLEX24
167Please respect copyright.PENANACmERH6T07G
If all goes well, I will give her a sister to play with,167Please respect copyright.PENANAqgmsdTnHbq
In a year or so if life will allow it,167Please respect copyright.PENANAoM9XLoWdne
My heart is large and still has room,167Please respect copyright.PENANASBD0mBsCFa
For more wounds to open that only they can heal.167Please respect copyright.PENANAi23XhDAfau
