Dr John Celes Poems

When as a child, we never knew
That childhood was in life, the best;
And so, we went on, on and on,
In search of better times in vain.
...

The world of children seems so heavenly;
It does not matter whether girl or boy;
In all the things they do, they look so cute;
An air of innocence enshrouds this stage.
...

Protect me, Lord, for I have come to Thee,
For shelter and protection against my foes;
And righteousness endangered finally,
Amidst my earthly travail, and my woes.
...

The TB germ is lurking everywhere,
And India has most cases in the world;
Contained has been disease to some extent;
Large population keeps the figure high.
...

For whatever, I am here, I don't know;
Why I am not elsewhere, I don't know why;
The worldly ways do hurt me much but oh,
I will not fear as long as God's near-by.
...

God made the earth so resplendent;
His work of art- Nature;
Variety is the spice of life;
Her secrets, men capture.
...

Minus hands and feet
Man is almost dead
Birds neither sow nor reap
God feeds them, they don't weep
...

Our earthly life is priceless and too dear;
From womb to tomb, a struggle long ensues;
Sometimes, our aims and dreams remain unmet,
And life can turn to be cruel like hell!
...

Obey your parents two;
Obey your teachers all;
They tell you not to fall;
They turn you wiser too;
...

The ship of life upon time's sea,
Unchartered journey makes;
And friendship makes the sojourn fine,
No matter what the clime.
...
