God Says, ‘thank You, My Son! ' Poem by Dr John Celes

You gave me your toil to learn the Bible's Words;
You gave me your time to reflect what I want;
You gave me your skills to show your gratitude;
You gave me your voice to sing hymns in my praise;
You gave me your hands to play the tunes aright.

You gave me your heart to show your love for me;
You gave me your brain to think the thoughts I loved;
You gave me your life to preach about my Will;
You gave me your life-time to follow my foot-steps;
You gave me your shoulders to help me carry my cross;
God says, ‘Thank you, my son!
I will grant you Heaven's eternity! '

Most lovingly dedicated to Rev. Fr. Cladious Xavier, TN, India
