Dr John Celes Poems

Next to my parents, you were great!
You are my special teacher dear;
You held my hand and cleaned my slate;
With words of love, erased my fear!
...

Good friendship is important in earthly life
True friendship is a rare find, lasting a life-time
Friendship is supportive, wholesome and priceless
Friendship must grow but is difficult to keep.
...

Life's a train journey; God's the driver;
We're off to a place called Eternity;
Disembarking's left to each passenger;
From birth till death, We choose any city.
...

’Tis time for Purim this year,
Jews celebrate this, dear;
–God’s plan to save them from
Their perpetrator’s hands.
...

Praise the day when you were born;
Thank the Lord for this great morn;
Sing good hymns and blow your horn;
Pray for parents for God’ altar, you now adorn!
...

Many had walked these very lanes,
Two thousand years ago,
Carrying a wooden cross,
And were crucified in the end:
...

Only...
The orphaned know what 'tis to be unloved;
The houseless know the value of a hut;
The street dwellers, what's insecurity;
...

Easter is coming, once again;
It is a boon and not a bane;
The year is two thousand and seven;
’Tis time to prepare your soul for heaven.
...

If man cannot protect his own species,
Then, who else will?
If man cannot ensure life’s dignity,
Then, who else will?
...

Doctor, doctor, be humane;
Keep your ethics and act sane;
Fleece no patient who is sick;
Quarrels with him, never pick.
...
