Dr John Celes Poems

nature heals with grace
what man can’t ever surpass
nature can earth shake
...

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!
...

It hung so near the trunk of the tree,
And stayed unnoticed for a long time,
Hidden by a leafy canopy,
And growing bigger than most others!
...

The inflorescence of the grass seems great -
A spectacle of beauty to the eye:
A Maker's witness, we can't underrate:
A simply gorgeous thing under the sky!
...

Oh thanks to you dear wife
For the wonderful life
We happened to share as
Man and woman, that was.
...

’Tis easy pointing fingers at others;
’Tis easy passing rash judgments on all;
’Tis easy finding faults with your brothers;
’Tis easy making fun when others fall!
...

Upon our knees, we fall and pray,
Reciting rosary,
That Lady of Fatima, may,
Give us the peace each day.
...

I’m glad to have known Jesus Christ,
The Son of Father God;
My life belongs to Jesus first;
He’ll spare me from all rod.
...

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!
...
