Dr John Celes Poems

If I am what I am,
'Tis all by grace of God;
I had a role to play;
God's blessings came my way.
...

I live with fear, hopeless today;
It appears I have lost my way;
Can I not have halcyon days?
Must I suffer always?
...

If man is put in undue stress and strain,
And need for wealth and name and fame arise,
From heaven comes down grace of God like rain:
By perseverance, toil, he can surprise.
...

Oh, what a lovely name, so dear,
Your parents gave to you!
It sounds so nice to every ear,
And matches things you do.
...

The Fathers’ Day goes well forgot;
The Mothers’ Day is soon forgot;
A mother is a need in life;
A father is a must in strife!
...

The dreams that children have these days
Are weird and rather unusual;
Their dreams could change the human race –
Tho’ virtual and so unreal!
...

Go on ahead;
Fear no one;
The honest can
Ev’n reach the sun!
...

Most handsome men do wonder where my secret lies!
I’m not so dashing – framed like model men;
When I reveal to them the truth,
They think I am dishonest.
...

Remember man, this earthly life will fade;
All glory gained will also vanish fast;
Just think about God’s love that had us made;
Our achievements will become things of past.
...

A pregnant Christian mother
Ran for the forest’s shelter
To save two lives!
