Dr John Celes Poems

What can I say about the Lord who made
The Universe with wisdom, intellect?
His glory can't diminish or ever fade,
For everything He planned was too perfect!
...

Unless a grain of wheat is sown in soil,
And dies, decays, transforms, gets life anew,
And sprouts into a sapling through one's toil,
It cannot grow to bear fruits that are due!
...

What beauty lies in clouds studding the sky,
That glass-like shows the land afar below!
God's firmament, a wonder, when we fly
By man-made aero-planes and God's rainbow!
...

You are the best I have, my brother nice!
I know so well you suffer too like me;
Your heart is honest, broadminded, and wise;
I pray God must bless you quite soon surely.
...

Don't love all things on earth with all your heart;
Let not your mind be drench'd with love for it;
For time decides that things all must depart,
And 'tis too late to break your love habit.
...

I have no soul to share my joys and woe;
I have no one to tell my grief, sorrow;
I ask myself, “Have I asked things far more? ”
But this is how my life will have to go!
...

The name of Jesus gives us grace anew;
The name of Jesus cures minds of evils;
The name of Jesus portrays divine view;
The name of Jesus drives away devils.
...

Sixty years have rolled off
Since India turned afree;
But minds and hearts of people
Stays in malady!
...

To own a cruise-liner was not my dream;
To have my island own was not my aim;
To be a leader of a global team,
Was not in my agenda for world fame!
...

The pow’r of prayer can astonish you;
Through prayer, we can speak to God each day.
There isn’t a thing that prayer cannot do!
A miracle can happen, if you pray.
...
