Poem: Can I Get an Amen?

Can I Get an Amen?

He didn’t
say amen
at the end
of the prayer
because there
wasn’t an
amen there,
or even
anywhere,
to be found
near his heart.
So he sat
and wished that
he could find
reasons why
there was no
place to go
where he could
find some good
piece to hold
onto that’d
heal his heart.
