Diwali 2009
The 'Festival of Lights'
Has come again this year;
Let’s see the glorious sights
That cause revelry dear!
It marks the victory
of good over evil;
’Tis time to eat sweet food,
And have great deal of fun.
’Tis time to wear new clothes,
And burst crackers of kinds;
’Tis time to share our joy
With all, we see around!
‘Happy Diwali,2009! ’

Christmas 2007 Message of Dr John Celes
You can be a Santa too:
‘Wish all a Merry Christmas! ’
You need not give rich presents;
Just share your love and kindness.
Bring back smiles onto faces;
Bring back some cheer amidst gloom;
Bring back the laughter to homes;
Make hope, joy and peace to bloom.
Restore peace of heart and mind;
Remind man of God’s boundless love;
Reconcile your soul with God;
Remember our goal- Heaven!

Corruption Is Global
Corruption is a global phenomenon
It has gained in roads into every sphere and level
People are so fed up of the monster
It is high time, it must be destroyed
Corruption is so rampant
It poisons every society
Sparing none in its wake
The common man most suffers
Corruption is an incurable disease
It cannot be wiped out but curbed
Politics and governments thrive by it
The end of the road is unclear

Advice
Be happy in what you are;
Be happy with what you have;
Be happy how things happen;
Be happy, they don’t worsen.
Thank God for the things He does;
Wait patiently for His time;
Pray to Him for better days;
But keep His code and divine ways!
Life is not in what you get;
Life is merely what you give;
Life is not in being loved;
Life is in sharing your love!

Christmas (An Acrostic)
Christ was born at Bethlehem
Hosanna in the Highest and peace to men of good-will
Rejoice as the miraculous child brings joy to the world
Immanuel is His name meaning ‘God with us’
Saviour who comes to redeem all sinners for all time
Three Magi from east come to worship the ‘King of Kings’
Mary, a virgin, is the Mother of Christ
Angel choir sing and play divine music
Scripture’s prophecy is fulfilled

Yet, Another Prayer to God
God make me rich while walking in your ways;
Let not the tempter my good ev'r efface!
The world is growing complex by the days;
'Tis hard to encounter the earthly maze!
My sins of past become my faulty base;
My strife on earth disturbs my divine gaze;
My trespasses become a thickened haze,
And serve to slacken my celestial pace.
I am a sinner, God in any case;
I need your forgiveness and immense grace.

Congrats
Today is a happy day
You had made your way
You made others happy aye
Be happy always
Life is not in receiving
Life is not just expecting
Life is not anticipating
Life is just in giving!
You had done your job quite well
You have rung life’s success bell
You have made me truly tell
Your D day is nigh and swell
Fondly Dedicated by the Dean,
to Dr. ChandraBose M.D.,
VP & HOD of Physiology, IRT PMC, Perundurai.

How Are My Poems Made?
I get a theme like bolt from sky;
I rack my mind to word aright;
I write it down by scribbling first;
I type it when I find the time;
I wring my heart to add feelings.
I check the rhyme and rhythm fast;
I read aloud to check the flow;
I edit flaws and tinker it;
I read / redo till they look good;
I thank the Lord for His kindness;
That’s the way my poems are made!

Most Loving God
Miracles, miracles-
God has wrought many;
’Fore my birth, in mom’s womb,
God had chosen me!
Giving me, a human form-
Is the greatest of all;
Making me, a good Christian-
Is God’s loving call.
Sending His Son, Jesus Christ-
Is His supreme love;
So that all can reach heaven-
His abode above.
Oh, what a loving God, I have!
He cares for me always;
He forsakes not nor abandons,
He who follows his ways!

All in a Few Moments!
Up on the rocky ledge,
A moment as a man;
Up in the air afloat,
A moment like a bird;
Down through the air, he falls,
A moment plunging fast;
Down through the water, goes
A moment like a fish;
Up through the water, comes
A moment, man again!
Cliff-diving is a skill;
It is a drill;
It is by will;
It can even kill;
In waters still,
It looks so easy
For the dare-devil!
