Dr John Celes Poems

I never thought that she would die so soon!
I planned to come and talk to her one day;
I never knew the earth could lose its moon!
Which human being can predict God’s way?
...

If I can’t pray for you, then who else could?
If I don’t pray for you, then who else will?
If I won’t pray for you, then who else would?
To pray for you will I my death until.
...

True greatness isn’t what men can give on earth
Or that obtained by clout or influence,
Nor that which comes through lineage since one’s birth,
But comes from heaven’s grace and providence.
...

The sky was clear and bright and blue with sun,
Over the tents of Indian tribes, that shone,
Whose life appeared as normal and kept on;
With Eagled shadow’s coming, all seemed gone!
...

I am an Indian by birth
No one dare questions my citizenship
Democracy is the rule of my beloved motherland
Every fellowman is equal in all aspects
...

What nimble feet, tiny and warm,
My baby's, I hold in my hands!
They want to walk without much harm,
On God-made earthly lands, and sands.
...

The summer's gone and autumn's due;
I hear the squirrel squeak this morn;
Its noisiness is heard again,
Disturbing neighbor-hood each dawn.
...

A lovely day for everyone
To greet and wish and express love;
A special day for lovers all
To speak out heart and mind and soul!
...

The world has got a newer Pope -
The source of Roman Catholic hope;
With church problems, he soon will cope;
In darkness, we need never grope!
...

I yearned to be a special bird
That sings a human song!
The nightingale was my first choice,
My dream and wish for long.
...
