Dr John Celes Poems

River of life - Blood
coursing through conduits,
fluid tissue with formed elements,
and host of chemicals that the body needs,
...

I aimed to accomplish one thing,
But turned to be yet another;
I thought I was unfit in life,
But God brought me out of all strife.
...

On donkey's back, with child in womb,
The Virgin Mary came;
They travelled long to Bethlehem
And searched for room in vain!
...

What shall I do with just pennies ten,
On Christmas Day to celebrate?
Oh, I can't buy a star alit,
That tells the world that special date!
...

It does not matter what kind of work you do,
But put your mind and heart and soul into it;
It does not matter which road you take in life,
But walk or run with steadfastness, warily.
...

The Old Year cruises to a grinding halt!
The New Year dawns midnight despite darkness!
What amazing light and sound marks the start!
Fun and gaiety change the atmosphere!
...

The God who dwells in light immense,
Which human eyes cannot perceive,
In heaven, His abode unseen,
Exists whether you disbelieve, believe!
...

At last, the day has come at IRT -
A special day in IRT's history;
A happy day at Head-office's campus;
A day that makes all hearts here, leap with joy;
...

Today my heart is filled with joy –
Joy that I may not bear;
The web is full of her frescoes –
Our Lady’s, everywhere.
...

Bereft of children, couples go insane;
Their love is wasted on pet animals;
Their wealth is lost to strangers and temples;
They pray to Gods for one child who is their own;
...
