My Father Had A Saying He

My Father Had A Saying He

My father had a saying he

Would say, and it’d go like this:

For everything a place must be,

A place for everything there is;

And he was glad for seeing that

Not only had he what to say,

But that where anything was at

It had a proper place to stay.

Such understanding as he had

In general he gave to me,

So even as a lad, my Dad

Said in a way that I could see,

Things weren’t just by accident;

If they were there by no mistake

Then everything to be was meant,

So sense of it we’d have to make.
