Dr John Celes Poems

The Pharisees and scribes who came
Had gathered from Jerusalem;
His disciples were eating meals,
With hands unwashed which Jews didn’t do;
...

When Sabbath Day was o’er, Mary, Salome
And Mary Magdalene had bought spices,
To go anoint the body of Jesus.
They reached the tomb when sun has just risen;
...

When Jesus went across the Sea
Of Galilee, a crowd followed;
They saw His miracles on sick;
He ascended the mountain-slope
...

What lot to man does God provide?
‘What to give? ’- How does He decide?
For unrighteous, is it not woe,
And misfortune, for Maker’s foe?
...

Money can make a master great;
Money can change a person's fate;
Money can problems much abate;
Money can't open heaven's gate!
...

He freed our land, Mahatma Gandhiji,
Supported by his freedom fighters all;
To Indians, Bharat is our destiny;
All invasions here-after, we will stall.
...

On earth, I wish to do my part;
In life, I wish to do no wrong;
This is the yearning of my heart;
This is my plea and prayer song.
...

When you are pushed to edge of poverty,
God shows the way to come out of the same;
When you are in a world of misery,
God comforts you and gives you fame and name.
...

All wealth you earn by labor hard or not
Will be forgotten or turn meaningless;
All trophies, prizes and awards, you got
On earth will finally turn valueless.
...

Then sing my soul rejoicing much;
God is my Father; I'm his child;
He guides me with a loving touch;
I frolic like a little lamb.
...
