Dr John Celes Poems

When my life upon earth has turned crass,
With my food tasting almost like grass,
Disappeared has my wealth;
And almost lost, my health,
...

The fields are parched;
The wells are dry;
And people cannot even cry!
...

We leave all things upon this earth,
In which we had a blessed birth;
The soul alone cannot perish,
But will its bad and good, cherish.
...

Being the wife of great a poet means
A lot of hardships, sacrifices, hurt,
Penury and honesty-led life-scenes:
A span in which the quality gets cut!
...

On donkey's back, with child in womb,
The Virgin Mary came;
They travelled long to Bethlehem
And searched for room in vain!
...

I aimed to accomplish one thing,
But turned to be yet another;
I thought I was unfit in life,
But God brought me out of all strife.
...

Dear teacher, you are …

the guiding light of knowledge in life
that dispels darkness of ignorance
...

When things don't happen as we want in life,
Must we then fret and fume and worry much?
When things go wrong, must we complain to God?
Just think about those more unfortunate!
...

In four years, once,
World's brethren come
To display skills
In games and sports.
...

The grace of God is more than what we need,
To eke our livelihood, and pass our days
On earth, and propagate our human seed
On mundane soil, keeping heavenly gaze!
