Dr John Celes Poems

The Human Hand has five fingers,
But none of similar size!
Yet, God put them all together,
To make a Hand so nice!
...

We miss you mother dear, it’s true!
You were alive just days ago;
You vanished like the morning dew;
You’re gone to be with God, we know!
...

All the flowers I may give,
Can’t make up for your love you gave,
When I was just a new-born child,
Dependent, defenseless in this world!
...

Beyond all darkness,
lies the Sun of Hope always
lighting earthly life!
...

The water-falls are perilous although,
And fall as rapids on boulders below,
What cascading beauty and frothy air,
And splashing noise that rends the forests near!
...

Some things are there we cannot tell outright;
Sometimes, we can’t afford to speak the truth;
Some situations may worsen over night;
Sometimes, we can’t get rid of one bad tooth!
...

Excerpt from Dr John Celes’ Welcome Speech
(to be held on 05-02-2010)

The Shepherd comes to meet his flock,
...

Born was a girl-child last in family,
At a time when her mother was weakest!
She cheered us all and grew so happily,
Wearing a smile and appearing meekest!
...

For the love of Jesus Christ,
I must never sin again;
For His sufferings, death on cross,
I must lead a holy life.
...

The Holy Cross has been the sign
Encouraging me long;
The wonder of its sanctity
Can make a divine song.
...
