Dr John Celes Poems

Another dawn is born
The air is fresh and cool
Some birds are chirping on the ground,
Hopping, searching for food.
...

The Holy Cross beckons
To follow Jesus Christ;
The source of strength and joy
To souls, for Lord athirst!
...

The jails and cells that prisoners fill,
Though nations build escape-proof still,
To house the criminals much galore,
Have innocents too, by the score.
...

Can men in darkness see clearly?
Alas, the blind have better sight in dark!
No man is comfortable without light
Destroy the darkness in your life
...

Life brings woes and foes,
Joys and choice,
Challenges and risks,
Ups and downs,
...

I thought of others’ welfare prime;
I never cared about lost time;
I could have led a selfish life,
And earned more wealth and faced my strife.
...

God made the woman Eve, from Adam’s rib;
He saw that man needed a companion;
Amongst creatures, they made a couple fine,
And roamed the Eden garden, joyfully.
...

Without women, the world can’t go along;
The girl is as important as the boy;
Make girls equal to boys, ensure progress;
Girl-baby is procreation’s especial joy!
...

Ring in the New Year, spread the cheer
Life is to live with bliss, sans fear
Happy was the Old Year, may be
Let New Year be happier, truly
...

The road ahead seems uncertain and small
The weather rough, terrain in marshy lands
No sign-boards found to help track direction
It meanders through forest thick and vale
...
