Dr John Celes Poems

To whom shall I the baton give?
My lap is getting o’er almost;
There are more laps in the relay race;
How many more, I don’t know.
...

Teachers are sacred lamps for all nations,
Who burn incessantly,
emitting light of knowledge
selflessly to children of all ages around,
...

They cut wild trees to make room for a few,
So that they grew with ease with landscape neat;
But lo! There sprung to life down-growth anew:
A forest wild appeared in rain and heat!
...

She taught for nearly ten years in a school,
But gave it up for rearing daughters two;
Nevertheless, she kept her calm and cool;
Another fifteen years had passed off too!
...

Today on earth is Father’s Day!
Good children know this anyway;
His love reminds them to then say,
‘God bless you daddy dear, today! ’
...

Acquiring ken is education’s aim –
Most priceless wealth on earth that lasts life-time;
If not for it, a person’s mind is lame;
Life turns worthless with illiteracy prime!
...

Like warts that spring on body-parts
And moles those come and go,
Like pains and aches of muscles. joints,
In life, we undergo!
...

The righteous need not fear a thing on earth;
Their war against evil is fought by God;
In all the crosses, life in time may bring,
The Maker stands by righteous flock as Lord!
...

Exams are almost near;
Just shed your undue fear;
Prepare the way, you must,
And try to do your best
...

The tree-trunk cut flush to the soil surface
Has branches sprouting new, those grow with speed;
Amazingly, revengefully in pace,
That far exceeds that seen from any seed!
...
