Dr John Celes Poems

In utter silence, he bore all-
His sufferings by our transgressions;
His blood was red and shed for souls
With stains of sins to turn snow-white.
...

Emmanuel, was born on Christmas Day from the Blessed Virgin's womb
And power of the Holy Spirit. The
Son of God and second person in the Holy Trinity, He
Took the death on cross for mankind's redemption. His blood washes
...

When trials, tribulations come in life,
Our living harmony is off the mark;
When temptations take us amidst much strife,
The brightness may get overwhelmed by dark!
...

An unfair world awaits some new-born babes;
Most unborn are unwanted, unwelcome;
Some children are abused, misused as well;
Some land as bonded laborers for life!
...

When bridges break and roads develop pot-holes;
And trains go off their rails, cranes turtle turn;
And nuclear submarines heat up and blow;
And nuclear reactors burst by surprise…
...

I am whatev'r I am, by grace of God!
For all my sins, He did not punish me;
His forgiveness was more than His fair rod;
He showed His love for me each time truly.
...

You taught your pupils as well as you could;
You got their praises for the job well done;
You fed your students hearty, mental food;
You brought in darkness, academic sun!
...

Money can buy a palatial house
But cannot make a home!
Money can buy a Titanic,
But can't ensure safety.
...

Those days I was not rich but very young;
My heart was happier and my mind not sad;
With fervent prayers, to my God, I clung;
I did not care about the world so mad!
...

A healthy body, healthy mind,
Without labor, no one can find;
And health of spirit and of soul,
Will take a life-time's work, as goal.
...
