Dr John Celes Poems

Allow me to be born, mother –
Into the world, God made;
And let me glorify my Lord
In life, before I fade!
...

From pillar to post,
Some couples go,
In trying to have,
A child of their own!
...

I drove my car as per ‘Road-Rules’,
A drunken cab hit mine head-on;
He escaped with some flimsy wounds
I lay in throes of death uncared!
...

’Tis nice to have good friends in life;
They share your emotions of yours;
They help to balance joy and strife;
They are your loving choice!
...

Ye lovely horse
with fore-head horn –
O unicorn!
Ye folk-lore beast,
...

A father loves his children,
More than words can say;
Dad’s the head of family –
This was so till today!
...

When dogs and cats can get along so well,
And sleep together, taking peaceful rest,
And play with each other like friends, when young,
Unmindful of their natural enmity…
...

O Queen of Heaven, Star of Sea!
Our dear Annai Vailangkanni!
So many met a grave, watery!
Could you not stall the Tsunami?
...

Standing on its hind-legs,
Wagging its long tail,
Panting with its tongue out,
Without its fore-legs!
...

God’s love made man the best of all
Creatures on earth, made from same soil;
Blame sin and misery for fall
Of Adam, Eve, and Satan’s spoil!
...
