Dr John Celes Poems

Our earthly life is filled with struggles rife;
All challenges and ‘ups and downs', we face;
Mere roses all, without much thorns, isn't life;
If all is drab, we cannot spend a day!
...

Born in winter’s chillness;
In a far off manger;
O Sweet baby Jesus,
I adore you.
...

They love to walk;
They love to talk;
They need our care;
Some only stare!
...

How can life come from mere a puff of air?
There must be life from which more lives emerge;
How can the Universe from dust evolve?
A ball of matter must be made by one!
...

Jealousy, thou green-eyed Monster!
Threat to the mind of the youngster;
Pervading all ages, places;
Prevalent in Human races;
...

When miracles, God does 'fore every eye,
And improves every state of gloom, despair;
To pray to God and thank Him, man asks why?
Until the moment, he hungers for air.
...

Why change the rose’s hue to black and blue?
Why spray the chickens with colors galore?
Why trim the shrubs into the shapes we think?
What God has given stays always the best!
...

Show me O God, the things I ought to do;
’Tis better that I act as per your wish;
My desires of life could anger you;
For, man by birth remains sinful/ selfish.
...

If we can laugh, our heart-aches disappear!
Our minds become freed off tensions and stress;
If we make others laugh, they lose their fear,
And become dear, starting to us caress.
...

Happiness is in your mind;
Happiness is in your thoughts;
Happiness comes when content;
Happiness is in your heart.
...
