In San Rafael's gentle embrace, Carol marks her 80th grace. An orange Lexus gleams with pride, Her spirit cruising far and wide. Village heart, a volunteer's hand, She nourishes the friendly land. With pots and pans a symphony sings, Crafting joy in the simplest things. Joyce and Barbara, her dear crew, Share laughter, stories, old and new. Over lunches, life's threads unwind, In every moment, warmth they find. Years waltz by like whispered dreams, In Carol's light, the future gleams.
