Dr John Celes Poems

'Tis sad someone like you should leave
For reasons known/unknown this place,
Donating points, no more word-weave,
With many trophies in this race!
...

‘Let ‘yes' be yes and ‘no' be no,
In earthly life' -what Jesus said;
And that's how Christians live to do,
And suffer Christ-like until dead.
...

I'm sick of living here on earth,
O Mary, heal my soul;
O Virgin Mother, who gave birth
To Jesus, mend my role!
...

You can become a saint as well,
If you can live for Christ;
Declared, you can be saint on earth,
If you can die, for Him.
...

The springs of life bring glorious days each year,
With verdure leaves and flowers of fine hues;
Though scorching, summers bring the harvests dear,
And helps the farmers pay back loans and dues!
...

Good friends like pearls are hard to find;
Good friends are bodies of same mind;
Good friends share joys and woes alike;
Good friends will gossip just dislike.
...

Most precious, we can bet,
Of all the gifts in life we get,
That money can't buy,
Are children doubtlessly -our wealth, and yet
...

I know, my God will work out things for me,
No matter how impossible they seem;
In ways beyond my imagination,
As if I experienced the wildest dream.
...

From trudge, my trek had changed into a run;
The mountain was a mound in size with time;
My hurdles melted off like snow in sun;
All strife mellowed and life became sublime.
...

A Christmas tree of fir or pine,
When decorated looks so fine;
With baubles, stars, festoons that shine,
And gifts and pastries, food and wine.
...
