Dr John Celes Poems

The mighty Oak has lost its massive look!
The mother-trunk is old and dying fast;
Some aerial-roots in ground anew did hook;
Their smaller trunks appear just like a mast!
...

Almighty God, to Thee I pray,
And thank Thee for all things this day,
I had received in ample way;
Let glory be to Thee, Aye! Aye!
...

Accept Him, Creator and supreme One;
Adore Him, Almighty God of Universe;
Praise Him, God who deserves utmost praise;
Love Him, God who loves all His creatures made.
...

Kulandai paruvam santhoshamae
Vaaliba vayathu magilcheyae
Vayathu vandaal mayakkamae
Muduthirchiyil ilamai onguthey
...

O sacred heart of Jesus Christ!
Afilled with sorrow from our sins,
Thy precious blood bleeding from it
With anguish, from our blunders made.
...

The wealth that God has given me is one!
One in a million earthlings may possess;
A gift that few dream of under the sun;
In such short time, He has given excess.
...

‘Than water, thicker blood is, ’ people say;
Relatives scarcely help in times of need;
We know that blood turns thinner every day;
Friends help more than our kith and kin indeed!
...

God’s love is immense, eternal
God’s love is unfathomable
God’s love is incomparable
God’s love is truly real.
...

It was raining cats and dogs!
The umbrella seemed very small;
The frog got wet in the thunderstorm,
And felt hungry pretty soon.
...

Every cloud is differently shaped;
Every plume has its own beauty;
Every sand is of size unlike the next;
No two leaves are equally green.
...
