Dr John Celes Poems

From birth, I know that man can easily sin;
The Tempter tempts all life incessantly;
At times, man succumbs or may try to win;
All life, he fights a battle endlessly.
...

God placed for man both eyes in front of face,
Unlike the beasts with eyes on either side:
A special sense to see in human race,
And ears to hear all sounds, and touch beside.
...

Why waste your voice, extolling men on earth,
Who don’t deserve the smallest praise, you give?
Why waste your life in earthly aims since birth,
When there are better things for which to live?
...

You cannot have your sinful friends for long;
You cannot be both good and bad forev’r;
You cannot sing all life, a joyful song;
You cannot ignore God as your Master.
...

Let me avenge Satan,
For tempting me all life;
He is the big Liar,
Who brought me all my strife.
...

This is our nest,
Our very own;
This is our home,
Sweet one, we built.
...

A lovely day,
For world to say,
‘I love you! ’
‘So, will you? ’
...

A wee little baby,
Turning in your womb;
In a bag of water,
In slumber unknown.
...

There is a dormant life, unseen,
In every seed!
When sowed in soil that’s wet,
Under the bright rays of the sun,
...

Oh, love me mother, I’m your son!
Oh, spare me father, this isn’t fun;
Oh, love me siblings, do not run;
Oh, save me God, I’m fully done!
...
