Birthday Wishes To A Beloved Big Brother Poem by Dr John Celes

My loving elder brother,
Born of good father, mother,
Has now turned one year older –
That should not make him bother.

For, God controls one’s life-span;
You cannot add a day;
In His bidding must each man,
Do things aright, His way.

So, clasp the feet of Jesus;
Grasp His Holy Cross;
Walk in His every footstep;
Brood not over some loss.

Sun sets heralding new dawn;
The night brings newer day;
Life’s-storms will calm when just born;
Let faith grow, come what may!

‘Happy Birthday, dear Brother! ’
Er. A. Joebert Selvan M.E.,
From your loving younger brother, wife and daughters
