Dr John Celes Poems

Am I wasting God, my time in this place?
Am I missing a chance to serve Thee Lord?
Am I keeping still a weird, mask-like face?
Help me, O God to act as per Thy code.
...

It is not wrong to make mistakes often;
It is not wrong to do blunders in life;
It is not wrong to see mishaps happen;
It is not wrong to panic 'midst your strife.
...

The day I saw the campus first,
I fell in love with it;
The place looks neat and tidy kept;
The college seems quite fit!
...

Christianity, a ship afree,
Is found tossing upon the sea!
Upon the deck, there’s mutiny;
No bond of love but just envy.
...

And Third Order of Mary (Feb 4,1811- Aug 1,1868)

The saint exhorted:
...

Seek the Lord and live!
Pray to Him: He will give.
Trust in Him
And life will be less grim!
...

All I want for Christmas
Is Jesus babe be born,
In every Christian home,
Where He is most welcome.
...

No force on earth however big can harm
An upright man if God vouchsafes for him;
The seeds he sows grow well in his small farm;
No evil man can turn his life too grim.
...

Oh, how I wished I loved an orphan- girl!
A girl who knew not what was meant by love;
One who would be my life’s most precious pearl!
And glitter forth her joy all life to prove.
...

The Desert-snake was cornered in a hole,
And flushed out ’live, without a single scratch;
A prisoner now with once a kingly role;
To Eagles’ eyes, he’as finally no match.
...
