I am not a preacher

I am not a preacher! I am not a preacher Who preaches love and kindness But when my pen and paper collide They leave no stone unturned And no life unchanged. I am not a doctor With a stethoscope dangling in the neck But when words runs through my fingertips They mend broken hearts And heal wounded souls. I am not a sergeant With a badge of dazzling stars I am not a soldier With a precarious weapon on the shoulder But a pen that scribes in bold Let there be peace I am not a pilot But let the young men and women Be inspired to fly high For the only limit is the sky I am not a preacher, I say l am not a preacher But l shall speak to the discourteous world The ethos of life.
