Be Poem by Dr John Celes

Be a bud but bloom to be a flower beautiful
Be a flower that fragrance spreads far and wide
Be a tree that firmly stands with mighty trunk
Be a beast but be in forests amidst wild fauna
Be a mound that’s mildly off the ground
Be a hill that people climb with ease though ill
Be a mountain mighty, majestic and marvelous
Be a stream that softly flows silently onto the river
Be a river roaring and rapidly riding the land
Be a forest dense with undergrowth, flora, fauna
Be a waterfall cascading down the mountain-side
Be a preacher practicing the precepts you propound
Be a teacher teaching tenets, training tutoring tiny tots
Be a doctor decent, doing duty dexterously all life-time
Be a leader loving, learning, living for the people led
Be a human being sane, humane in harmony with heaven
