Dr John Celes Poems

God's mercy's greater than from human hands;
He shows His mercy on whomev'r He wants;
God hears his servant's prayer, mercy pleas;
The Lord relieves distress through His mercy.
...

The day I saw you, you seemed different!
-A monument of patience, you stood great;
-A man of wisdom who looked refulgent,
Of stature, I had never seen till date.
...

Behold the rocks atop the mountain stand,
And only fall when they should, when God wants!
Behold the waterfall, a beauteous sight,
That ne'er runs dry, despite the sun, failed rains!
...

O little Flower of Jesus Christ!
How young and yet so wise, you turned!
And showed the world that heaven's first;
For love of Christ, your heart well burned!
...

Many of us have heard of Christ;
Some of us know Jesus so well;
Christ is always passing by nigh;
Should we not have a better glimpse?
...

When I had health, I strived to earn more wealth;
I toiled so hard that I soon lost my health!
When I got wealth, more vice crept in by stealth;
My wealth was gone, so also my good health!
...

Then Jesus told another parable:
‘Kingdom of Heaven- Wheat and the darnel'
Heaven can be compared to that of a man,
Who sowed only good seed in his whole field.
...

When childless couples want a child of own,
And many years of married life has gone,
They can try having test-tube baby one -
A method successful, cheap and well-known!
...

Why are you in a hurry to…
Catch a bus?
Board a train?
Fly in a plane?
...

Like a phoenix from the ash:
Twin towers from rubble
Should rise back to glory,
Despite attacks gory!
...
