Her pen~name is Begin Again but Carol is her name
As FanStory's top novelist, she shines with honored fame
She's dwelled in Illinois the whole time she has been alive
Now lives in country home her father built when she was five
Of what she holds most dear in life, there's nothing that outbids
Her five children, eight grandchildren, and then three great grandkids
And it was the career choice that she always knew was right
Successful catering business that she would call, "Top Flight"
Then secretary for VP ~ Insurance Company
But now she is retired and that's the way she loves to be
When reconstructing house, alone she knocked out all the walls
They built a deck when Mike was ill, she lovingly recalls
Then they could sit and watch the river that runs through her yard
A peaceful time for them, as the next part would be so hard
One son and daughter gone, then grandson's tragic death would strike
Her parents, siblings passed, and love of her life, husband, Mike
Now she takes writing to a place where her joy never ends
Her fav'rite place to go is FanStory to be with friends
So, Carol, with much love we hope you publish right on track
We wish you Happy Birthday, we're delighted you are back
