Dr John Celes Poems

And when the clock struck twelve midnight,
Fourteenth, august, forty-seven,
An Asian nation turned awake,
While world slept on in slumber deep!
...

God, bless the souls who care for elderly!
Oh, what a lovely service they perform!
And wretched be those thinking cleverly,
Escaping duties, keeping them not warm.
...

This body doesn’t belong to me;
The life within isn’t either mine;
Both born were from Your love divine;
I have no right o’er them truly!
...

If you had been so good that you
Obeyed your parent’s wishes, then,
Be glad you did as Christ did do,
And walked upon road to heaven.
...

Seek the Lord and live!
Pray to Him: He will give.
Trust in Him
And life will be less grim!
...

The saint exhorted:
...

All I want for Christmas
Is Jesus babe be born,
In every Christian home,
Where He is most welcome.
...

River of life - Blood
coursing through conduits,
fluid tissue with formed elements,
and host of chemicals that the body needs,
...

How many Goliaths arise from ash
Like a phoenix, challenging all righteous men!
The giant evil-doers are so rash,
And strong enough to kill lions in a den!
...

At last, the day has come at IRT -
A special day in IRT's history;
A happy day at Head-office's campus;
A day that makes all hearts here, leap with joy;
...
