Dr John Celes Poems

What children need is love and care;
Unfairness, they can never bear;
They fight by calling silly names;
They can devise their own good games.
...

On cold, a wintry night,
A baby boy on hay,
...

The common man lives unsheltered;
His hut of mud is razed unwarned;
No other place instead, he gets;
His family stays in sun and rain!
...

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,
...

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,
...

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.
...

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.
...

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?
...
