Dr John Celes Poems

When God can change destinies of nations:
Appoints, rejects and re-appoints leaders:
Safe-guards, allows the fall of prime bastions:
Converts hearts, minds and souls of His readers!
...

To say a thing and doing it is good;
To do a thing: keep telling it, is bad;
To mince one’s words and speak big lies is worst!
To talk one’s heart out does not suit this world.
...

God makes the buds that blossom into flow’rs,
And flow’rs to form the seeds for newer plants;
God gives sun-light and bathes the roots with show’rs,
And nutrition, protecting them from ants!
...

I twist and turn;
I fly so high;
With grace and poise;
Balance in dance!
...

When girls must marry ’fore ’tis late,
And boys can’t think of any date,
With future bleak despite degree,
From world of books, they are not free!
...

Jesus saw a man, blind since birth;
His disciples asked Him, ‘Rabbi,
By whose sins was the man born blind-
His own sins or that of parents’? ’
...

Born was a child in a manger;
Born was the son of God, the Father;
Born was the love of the Maker;
Born was for men, a Redeemer.
...

This is the day,
Dressed like a Fay,
For one to say,
“I love you.” Aye!
...

A boy and girl are playing games,
Dressed so neatly, calling out names;
The field has grass that’s very green;
There’s none to witness this great scene!
...

United were two hearts,
Before one, living God,
As husband and his wife,
For rest of earthly life.
...
