A door that doesn’t creak

Give me a door that doesn’t creak in the back of the church-house
So we can come and go not fearing 72 stares staring.
Your zipper’s undone. Broccoli’s on your teeth.
Give me a door that doesn’t creak in the front of the church-house
So the hurt can come kneel at the altar, do an about face
and not face jeers at past trespasses (as His prayer says).
Give me a door that doesn’t creak in the back of the church-house
So we aren’t afraid to come?the people that would rather stay home,
Not go at all, than be 5 min. late and hear two hinges creak.
Because some of the members forget to ask
"Why weren’t you at church" in 7 days and not in an hour.
