Dr John Celes Poems

Four years ago, today,
Our mother passed away!
She had a sudden death,
Performing well since birth.
...

A girl-child walks along railroad;
Someone has hurt her feelings much;
Her mind is anguished by some word;
She needs a fairy-mother’s touch!
...

Just heal me by mere talk;
Do sit beside me, Doc;
My heart-aches, I must tell;
Spend time to make me well.
...

Even a bud, man can’t unfold
With ease like how God does at dawn;
Nothing on earth is in man’s hold:
God is the King and man, a pawn!
...

I loved the world although it nev'r deserved;
I loved the people more than how I should;
But what I got was mere ingratitude;
The world goes on in this way rather fast.
...

What use is a rose-bush without thorns,
For God gave thorns by changing leaves,
And protecting flowers beauteous
From predators, and plucking hands!
...

'Tis sad someone like you should leave
For reasons known/unknown this place,
Donating points, no more word-weave,
With many trophies in this race!
...

‘Let ‘yes' be yes and ‘no' be no,
In earthly life' -what Jesus said;
And that's how Christians live to do,
And suffer Christ-like until dead.
...

So far so good, things have been fine;
Years have flown, and I did well;
May be, I could have been better;
I dunno what's in store for me!
...

How well children conduct themselves
With innocence and candour much!
Although they try to ape adults,
They do most things in ways unique.
...
