Dr John Celes Poems

God, give me …
The chance to make my wife (spouse) happy!
The time and ways in life to express love;
The lucre needed to enjoy in twain;
...

That there's a life after our life on earth
Called After-life - none can deny at all!
Yet, most just care about life after birth,
Life here on earth - after Adam, Eve's fall!
...

If I can be what others try to be,
I'm afraid, I could land in vanity;
If I remain myself adamantly,
I'm afraid, I could lose my sanity!
...

O lemme go, my time has come!
I smell death somewhere lurking near;
With weakened frame, I must welcome,
My end of earthly stay, sans fear!
...

God made the earth perfect for man,
With all comforts throughout life-span;
Man's activities change the earth,
Affecting life, even at birth!
...

When I am careful, yet get pricked by thorns,
The painful situation reminds me then,
‘Not mere bed of roses, life adorns, '
I need more care whev'r jumping the fen!
...

When my life upon earth has turned crass,
With my food tasting almost like grass,
Disappeared has my wealth;
And almost lost, my health,
...

A quarter century has gone,
Since we had become medicos!
We can't believe the fleeting time
That changed us, and the world around.
...

When things don't happen as we want in life,
Must we then fret and fume and worry much?
When things go wrong, must we complain to God?
Just think about those more unfortunate!
...

The fields are parched;
The wells are dry;
And people cannot even cry!
...
