The dust lies thick in my house
On the tables and lamps and TV
And every day I say to myself,
"I really should dust," but you see
The baby is tired and needs to be rocked
Her big sister needs a story read
The husband needs help finding his socks
The cat needs a pat on the head
A neighbor is sad and needs some cheer
Grandmother needs a visit
The family next door needs some help this year
Someone needs love who can't give it
The Food Pantry needs help filling its shelves
The Shelter needs kids' mittens
Nobody gets fed if we just help ourselves
Nobody keeps warm without giving
Yes, the dust lies thick on tables and chairs
But I will have no sorrow
Someone needs my help today
The dust will still be there tomorrow
