Dr John Celes Poems

At stroke of twelve midnight, New Year is born!
The world moves on in time to new a phase,
As history leaves with memories adorn;
Most nations brace themselves up for rat-race!
...

A day to be immensely proud about
A day of ecstasy, patriotism and love for our Motherland
A day to remember the many valiant freedom-fighters and martyrs
A day to share our joy of freedom with the world at large
...

I tried to write a good limerick
I know it is some kind of a trick
Each time I start to write
The pen and paper fight
...

While digging in the garden, the crowbar
hit the high voltage underground cable;
shocked and thrown some feet away.
Flexed, I fell but unhurt lay,
...

Sixty years have sped off so fast
Since we had been a medico
Both sad and glorious has been past
The living have crossed seventy-five
...

Trust is pivotal for success on earth;
Trust is the basis for marital mirth;
Trust in self and trust in God are a must;
If not the bonds of love can go to dust.
...

Retirement’s good in life on earth,
And gives you time to think, reset;
And doing things of greater worth
For heart and soul, spirit, I bet.
...

We thank you for the Old Year, Lord,
And let the New Year spread the Word!
Let people love the joy and peace
That Christmas brought, and wars all cease!
...

Our life on earth is loveliest God’s gift;
He gave it freely out of love divine;
God abhors sin that causes great a rift,
Between the seed in fruit and trunk of Vine.
...

Success isn’t wrought by skills alone;
Your frame of mind matters a lot;
Apart from perseverance much,
To put your heart and soul, you got.
