Dr John Celes Poems

The owl has landed on the ground,
Honing its clawed-feet, and its beak,
Eyeing the rat that plays so near,
...

Today is Father’s Day in India;
Not many know about this lovely day!
How many wifes did greet their husbands, say?
Neither did children of Himalaya!
...

A man named Job, lived in Uz;
He was an upright, blameless man;
He was a God-fearing one too;
He turned away from all evil.
...

Without a doubt, God is a kind Being;
Supreme and Omnipotent, quite unknown;
Don’t take great advantage of Him, earthling;
God’s wrath on evil-doers is well known.
...

By sweat of human forehead built,
And money earned in honest ways;
Reside good Christians within it;
God bless this family always!
...

What love entwines two hearts- brother, sister,
Living apart for years and both now old!
A love from India upto Myanmar,
That keeps alive and can never grow cold.
...

The man who heals has not a heart of stone;
From bricks and mortar, his body isn’t made;
Like you, he is as much flesh, blood and bone,
And suffers from much stress and is ill paid.
...

Look how the trees grow in the wilderness!
The Rain and Sun tend to their growing needs;
No man can put the tree’s growth in harness;
‘Tis clothed by verdure leaves, flow’rs, fruits with seeds.
...

Two thousand years ago
In Bethlehem town, Oh,
A baby boy was born
In manger-shed forlorn!
...

My Poesy is God-given a gift!
A soothing balm to mind and heart and soul;
No more my ship of life at sea’s adrift;
Bestowed on me has God a better role.
...
