Dr John Celes Poems

A son of noble parents rich
Of Portuguese lineage
His Baptism name Ferdinand
Grew up fifteen of age
...

God gave us daughters two,
And they have been quite good;
But times seem very bad,
And yet, they make us glad.
...

Though green grass turns yellow,
And men with age mellow,
Yet evergreen in mind and heart
Are childhood thoughts, and one’s sweetheart,
...

Wear a smile and do your part;
Keep your cheer and do your craft;
Put your soul and keep your heart;
Make nursing, a glorious art!
...

You’re human being with a soul;
You are much better than a beast;
You are God-made from special clay;
So, love your neighbour, come what may!
...

The ones who tend to make money in life
Are not the truly talented or skilled,
And those who fight their challenges in strife,
Nor those whose minds and hearts are problem-filled.
...

If you're a Christian then,
Carry you must your cross,
And walk in Christ's foot-steps,
To Calvary all life.
...

The scorching summer sun had blazed to peak,
The weary earthlings could not even cry,
The wind stood still and sultriness had spread,
The ground surface looked cracked and trees were dry,
...

The God of goodness, love immense,
Believed that man shouldn't be alone,
So made for him a helper fit;
From earthly clay, He made each beast,
...

Be a nurse, take care of sick;
Life is worth more than money;
Show your love and tender care;
What is sweeter than honey?
...
