After a lengthy break to concentrate on her family, work and life’s struggles, Dotty returned with a scorcher that thousands of parents would have related to for the build up to Christmas Eve
‘Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
The children weren’t sleeping despite the late hour,
Why can’t they sleep I have so much to do:
The turkey wants roasting
The presents aren’t wrapped
The potatoes need peeling …
A coffee I think or maybe a glass
To stop my eyes closing …
When all of a sudden a quiet and a hush
The kids are all sleeping – quick time to rush
Through the long list of things I must do
Before I close my eyes too
Single, alone I prepare and I pray
I can make magic happen
Just for one day.
