Our Christmas poem

Twas the night before Christmas
And all through McLean Care
Nurses were flittering here
And fluttering over there.

Armed with a smile
And their medication charts
They set off their day
With love in their hearts.

As Dasher and Dancer
Begin their decent
We wanted to reflect
On how much this year has meant.

It has tested and twisted
And brought us to a teather
But most importantly
It has brought us together

The season is upon us
Tis the end of a year
And now is the time
To be with the ones you hold most
dear.

From everyone at McLean Care we
wish you a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.
