Dr John Celes Poems

Obey your teachers, everyone;
Respect your teachers, everyone;
Remember your teachers, everyone.
Heed to what they teach in class.
...

What children need is love and care;
Unfairness, they can never bear;
They fight by calling silly names;
They can devise their own good games.
...

On cold, a wintry night,
A baby boy on hay,
...

A rose in hand looks so much beautiful;
A garland too is grand and gorgeous;
But roses strewn en way is utter waste;
Bouquets aplenty turns a common sight!
...

Girl-child or boy, what God gives you is joy!
A child’s, a priceless gift of God, not toy –
A mini human being that needs love,
Like how the Maker bestows from above.
...

Why did You make me specially O Lord?
I feel You've made me uniquely from clay!
Why did You create me by special word?
Why am I born on a lucky birthday?
...

We thank you God for giving us good rain;
The monsoon failure has been made up fast;
The wells will fill and lakes will also swell;
The drains will flow and cities will get cleaned.
...

You circumcise your heart and celebrate the day,
The son of God was born a man on earth for all,
As human race is steeped in sin always;
If pure of heart, each day is Christmas then,
...

The old year had its ‘ups and downs';
The old year brought some sorrows, joys;
The old year had its surprises;
The old year was both good and bad.
...

Christ is born, a baby boy today
Hope for human race, Hallelujah, Hosanna in the Highest.
Rejoices Heaven for this mysterious ‘miracle of miracles'
Instilling joy and peace in hearts of all human beings,
...
