Dr John Celes Poems

Happy's the man, woman who…
Leads life on earth as per God's will;
Heeds to his/her conscience all life;
Relies not on own strength, skills, will;
...

The Creator permits many a thing,
Whose reasons stay unknown to man for long;
The unnatural and sinful ones could bring
On curses to kindred as they are wrong!
...

To love something too much could turn out bad,
For time decides the loss of many things;
When separations make a person mad,
Both peace of mind and heart can take on wings!
...

The tree with withered leaves and branches dry,
When cut close to its trunk and trimmed all neat,
Suddenly turns verdure when rains the sky,
As sprouts begin to cover it from heat!
...

Upon each Christian's heart is etched by God,
The Ten Commandments that He gave Moses;
And disobedience's mortal sin with rod;
And after-life with God, He thus looses!
...

The tomb of stone's empty!
Christ Jesus has risen,
On day three after death,
Just as He had foretold!
...

How well you did your duty upon earth,
In every role that God had blessed you with!
How well you served your patients, full of mirth,
And showed your love to neighbours, kin and kith!
...

The things I think are best for me to ask
From God don't seem to work too well for me;
Those things God gives to help my every task
Appear the best always ultimately.
...

May the Tamil New Year twenty twelve bring
Peace, prosperity, happiness to all
Tamils living around the globe this day.
...

Born abroad and growing strong
Away from home and motherland
Growing in cosy environs
Pampered by parents, neglected
...
