Poems from the Soul

By Cheryl Martin

Poems from the Soul is about the deepest parts of ones being. It is a cry for help and human understanding. It is about connecting with God, who is our Creator and Preserver. God is always on our side. I had to say this every day and all day to overcome the many obstacles put in my way. I had to jump over hurdles that seemed insurmountable. My faith in God grew as I tried to dodge the fiery darts of evil as they tried to pierce me every day and every night. I had to depend on God for my survival, and I had to pray more than I ever did before. Writing these poems has helped me to become stronger and more secure in my faith in my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I used to be a teacher in the public schools of New York City. I was also a coordinator of the Common Cents for the Penny Harvest in my local school in my community. This organization is a charity that helps to give back to the community. All we did was collect the common cents that people threw away, and we would donate them to people who were less fortunate than ourselves. I taught my students to value money, and I showed them that they could help others even though they were quite young. We also would discuss how to help other organizations. We were able to send money to Guyana to help the students at the Canefield Primary School. The teachers and students needed money to buy school supplies and books. They were able to help themselves, and they were grateful that we shared our resources with them. I am very proud to have worked in the Common Cents for the Penny Harvest. It gave me opportunities to serve my fellow human beings. I believe that we should share our lives in helping others, especially those who are in need.
