Dr John Celes Poems

We thank you God for giving us good rain;
The monsoon failure has been made up fast;
The wells will fill and lakes will also swell;
The drains will flow and cities will get cleaned.
...

Christ is born, a baby boy today
Hope for human race, Hallelujah, Hosanna in the Highest.
Rejoices Heaven for this mysterious ‘miracle of miracles'
Instilling joy and peace in hearts of all human beings,
...

You circumcise your heart and celebrate the day,
The son of God was born a man on earth for all,
As human race is steeped in sin always;
If pure of heart, each day is Christmas then,
...

My earthly success, I owe much to God;
Without His timely help, I am a naught;
To boast all things I did myself is odd;
I was rescued by God from problems caught.
...

The old year had its ‘ups and downs';
The old year brought some sorrows, joys;
The old year had its surprises;
The old year was both good and bad.
...

If man is put in undue stress and strain,
And need for wealth and name and fame arise,
From heaven comes down grace of God like rain:
By perseverance, toil, he can surprise.
...

Oh, what a lovely name, so dear,
Your parents gave to you!
It sounds so nice to every ear,
And matches things you do.
...

If I am what I am,
'Tis all by grace of God;
I had a role to play;
God's blessings came my way.
...

I live with fear, hopeless today;
It appears I have lost my way;
Can I not have halcyon days?
Must I suffer always?
...

The sea has turned angry again!
A strong quake hit the Japanese Isles;
The sea-water has gone over-land,
And caused enormous loss of lives!
...
