Dr John Celes Poems

The common dandelions grow everywhere;
The weeds pop up with ease throughout the year;
The parachuted seeds infect the air;
The yellow flower seems so very dear!
...

I leave a family loved, acquainted long;
I wish I could stay on forever here;
I know you shared my life and plaintive song;
I'm sorry I've to leave everyone dear!
...

I'm not among the millions sadly caught
In natural disasters and accidents,
By grace of God and may be, some foresight;
I owe my gratitude to Almighty.
...

Life can be sweet,
If words of mouth
Are said with care,
And love untold
...

Can you prevent becoming older, tell?
Can you avoid the wrinkles on aged face?
Can you stay healthy always keeping well?
Can you keep running without change of pace?
...

Whom can I blame?
None can I blame;
All are at fault;
All are to blame!
...

No garden's born by singing, ‘What Beauty! '
No wealth is made by staying much lazy;
No feat's achieved except by diligence;
No soul is saved except by repentance.
...

Carry my cross and follow Christ, I must;
The burden of my cross is lighter than the Lord's;
The vagaries of life and its uncertainties,
Are challenges, formidable, dear God.
...

The mark of childhood – innocence,
(Obscured when through adolescence)
Remains perhaps the quintessence
Of children, right through existence!
...
