Dr John Celes Poems

Women, children and men-Why swallowed thee?
With waters briny, blue and beautiful;
The home of fishes most, O hallowed Sea!
...

All things both good and bad must end some day!
'Tis time to end our pleasant stay, today;
And soon, we will be truly miles away,
Though hearts and minds will here, forever stay!
...

Teaches and trains even the worst pupil
Ever ready to help the student in troubled times
Allows students to nurture their talents
Chides and punishes justly
...

Wars spread terror;
Wars cause horror;
Wars kill persons;
Wars maim people;
...

While just a teen,
And Cancer struck,
They took a leg
To save his life!
...

Your birthday makes you one year older, child!
Be happy that you know the world that’s wild;
Let knowledge make you wiser by the day;
Let truth and perseverance guide your way!
...

Praise the day when you were born;
Thank the Lord for this great morn;
Sing good hymns and blow your horn;
Pray for parents for God’ altar, you now adorn!
...

My poverty has been my best Teacher;
My selflessness has been my best helper;
My miseries have been my best lover;
My love of God has been my best Master.
...

Mother Nature’s the best teacher we know,
Teaching both young and old without a fee;
Through flora, fauna and all creatures, oh!
Her lessons being unique, naturally.
...

Good books are worth their weight in gold;
Whatever the cost, buy them, if sold;
Their value stays even if old;
A lot of knowledge, they unfold!
...
