Dr John Celes Poems

When I am careful, yet get pricked by thorns,
The painful situation reminds me then,
‘Not mere bed of roses, life adorns, '
I need more care whev'r jumping the fen!
...

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.
...

God made the earth perfect for man,
With all comforts throughout life-span;
Man's activities change the earth,
Affecting life, even at birth!
...

When things don't happen as we want in life,
Must we then fret and fume and worry much?
When things go wrong, must we complain to God?
Just think about those more unfortunate!
...

O lemme go, my time has come!
I smell death somewhere lurking near;
With weakened frame, I must welcome,
My end of earthly stay, sans fear!
...

Dear teacher, you are …

the guiding light of knowledge in life
that dispels darkness of ignorance
...

The fields are parched;
The wells are dry;
And people cannot even cry!
...

We leave all things upon this earth,
In which we had a blessed birth;
The soul alone cannot perish,
But will its bad and good, cherish.
...

When my life upon earth has turned crass,
With my food tasting almost like grass,
Disappeared has my wealth;
And almost lost, my health,
...

Being the wife of great a poet means
A lot of hardships, sacrifices, hurt,
Penury and honesty-led life-scenes:
A span in which the quality gets cut!
...
