To A Teacher Of Teachers (In Paediatrics) Poem by Dr John Celes

I, your pupil know your worth;
I, a teacher know your girth;
I, a doctor know your birth
Gave doctor-teachers, mirth!

I, a colleague can world tell,
‘You had made your students swell;
You had taught indeed so well;
You had tolled the teaching-bell! ’

We, your students thank you Doc;
You were key to our world’s lock;
When we did your door ev’r knock,
You gave ken unmatched by clock!

You, a star in our life’s sky;
You were one no one could buy;
You had made our minds so high;
This is truth, whole truth, not lie!

You opened world of children;
You made Paediatrics, heaven;
You taught craft and art woven;
You now make us look even!

We thank you from depths of heart;
We are grateful for our start;
We know not the words to draft;
We hope you must never part!

“You were a doyen;
You were a giant;
You were so erudite
Teacher of Teachers! ”

May God grant you many years;
May God give you peace, not tears;
May God take away your fears;
May you live happy with dears!
