Dr John Celes Poems

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.
...

I saw a tree with leaves all green;
For centuries, cut, it had been!
Last sixty years, it grew again,
Well nurtured by the sun and rain.
...

If you are born a wealthy man,
Never talk ill of the beggar;
If you are bred in poverty,
Don’t curse the rich in power;
...

I speak with bitterness of soul,
‘I hate my life; don’t prove me wrong.
O God, why do you oppose me?
Does oppression give pleasure, Lord? ’
...

O Valentine, O Valentine!
This day appears so very fine;
Just once a year, almost divine;
Two love-filled hearts will sure entwine!
...

One soul witnessed the tears of Indians all;
He saw how Indians all had been enslaved;
His time and life for us, He sacrificed;
He got us freedom through his actions, words.
...

Indians, we all are brothers and sisters
Nation is called Bharat, our beloved Motherland
Destiny, we share a common one
Integrity of states and citizens is prime
...

Wee hours before sun-rise;
Few minutes after sleep;
The brain has ideas fresh
That can be worked as themes:
...

For thirty silver pieces
Judas Iscariot
Betrayed the Lord Jesus
To foes at Gethsemane!
...

1. O God of glory and love infinitesimal!
O God of mercy and forgiveness endless!
2. O God who created all creatures with care and perfection!
O God who watches them and takes care of all their needs!
...
