Decorating for Christmas – “What Can I Do?”

Decorating for Christmas – “What Can I Do?”

by Lawrence Hall

A little girl tugged at my arm and asked

“But what can I do?”

I sent her to Senora Anil because I didn’t know

 

She came to me again and sadly asked

“But what can I do?”

I sent her to Miz Bev because I didn’t know

 

She came to me once again and sadly asked

“But what can I do?”

I sent her to Senor Nicho because I didn’t know

 

Some sturdy young men brought in the Creche

And there the little girl knelt and placed the straw

And then each figure in turn; she talked to them

And cautioned them all to keep Baby Jesus warm


And that’s what a little girl can do
