Dr John Celes Poems

Carrying a cross, upon shoulder,
A young man walks the lane:
That twists and turns, with stones that hurt,
And cause Him bleeding pain.
...

God doesn't decide for us to where we go!
He gave mankind the gift of the free will;
In life, there are many cross-roads, we meet;
At every point, we must take the road right.
...

The earth is clothed by beauteous creatures all,
In great varieties, gentle, weird, beloved;
And water lined by shrubs and trees, so tall -
A lovely treat to human eyes, well-proved.
...

The one who has the mind has not the means;
The one who has the means has not the heart;
The one who has the heart knows not the art;
The one who has the art has not the time.
...

Uniquely born am I upon this earth!
Uniquely I perform the task God-giv'n;
Unique are problems for me since my birth;
Unique is road destined to walk and run.
...

The mind's most inner thoughts, one's eyes reveal;
The mirror of the mind cannot conceal;
A corrupt heart corrupts the mind as well;
And life can turn for everyone, a hell.
...

Within the world, there lies a world
Threatening harm, though all seems calm;
Within the world, there are some clans
That shun the good with evil plans.
...

Don't you forget your teachers dear today,
And what they did to help you read and write;
Their sacrifices put you in your way
And gave the foundation to future bright.
...

Lent is meant
to be the gracious time, lent
By God to man, to repent
For wrongs and sins and relent
...

God chooses souls He made
To serve His special aim,
For glory of His name,
And heaven’s plans, well-laid.
...
