Personal Poems
Storyteller Emma Jean by Suzae Chevalier
Emma Jean has
power to story tell-
she creates stories and she does it well.
Now she told a story I will never forget
she weaves the story with her Missouri accent
which sets the stage
she takes em back to a really young age,
she writes better then famous authors on the page.
Her voice changes in fluctuation and stance
weaving words like a rhythmic dance.
Even though Emma Jean’s gone
I will tell her stories so they will live on.

Emma Jean Hears Walt Disney’s Great Plans
Jean whose given name was Emma Jean
Emma Jean who is storyteller supreme
grew up in Missouri with all beautiful things.
Her dad a doctor invented the kidney dialysis machine—
She would go on doctor house calls before
she was a teen.
In fact Emma Jean was only eight years old—
in California–making it grand.
Swinging on the front porch she did hear—
all stories of her mother’s childhood
these are found memories she held so dear

NYC ADVENTURE
In a limo I did ride
I was traveling just before twilight.
Many people I did see
they all looked happily back at me
I did surprisingly see a nun
then I looked out my window people having fun.
The my limo did stop and the wheels did squeak–
I saw in review mirror profile of me with my sparkling cheek.
I was quite hidden in view people only see my blonde hair
that is true.
I was on my way to my own comedy show which I didn’t know–
that I would be the comedy of my own funny show.
My entourage was patiently waiting outside–
I realize I was out of my limo with nowhere to hide!
Click, click the cameras went
I snuck out of limo to my own comedy event.
It was in NYC at the Apollo
my name lit up in lights like no tomorrow.
I thought no way in all my days
I would I would be on the Apollo stage!
That was just my luck, I heard the alarm and then I woke up.

DEATH OF THE SOUL IS REAL
Death of the soul is real. We are soul, body and spirit. If we are not born again in the spirit we will surely die. Our souls are eternal. We are either in hell for eternity or we are in heaven for eternity. And guess what? We have a spiritual body in heaven. I think I choose to make Jesus Christ my Savior. As Jesus said in John 14:6
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Will You Come To The LORD Jesus who died for you?
Your old body is passing away, and only your spiritual body and soul will be in the next life–heaven or hell. We will have to give an account for how we used our free will to God one day. We can’t help but sin, and God is holy and He wants us to be holy like Him through our LORD Jesus Christ–He’s the only way. On the Judgement day the verdict will be death if you are not Saved by the Lord Jesus Christ who conquered “Death” for all of us. Through Jesus you have eternal life. If you deny Jesus you have eternal death. Death in Hell. Hell is real as the nose on our face. I think all of humanity should be concerned about death and the afterlife and take it more seriously for this is your eternal soul we are talking about. God’s creation scientist can not come close to understanding the supernatural of God. Funny God created the scientists and they too will have to give an account on that day. That day to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Hummingbird Hotel
For it has stories to be told one is about Al Capone.
He stayed with his gang on one of the floors
betting on a team that would have a top score.
Betting on a boxing match
that was played in Chicago
little did anyone literally know.
Many years later I would paint on the sidewalk
just outside–
I was happy and filled with pride.
I was a rogue artist that did not give up–
even when they said there was no more spots.
Now this year the
Hummingbird hotel will be reopened
Thank you Winston
for sharing what you know
and letting be in the Street Painting show.

Penny Tribute – Poem by Suzae Chevalier
Penny Conway and grandchildren
Penny who I visited in the hospital
one sunny day
was in Minnesota I did stay.
She thought of me and I was there,
I was a friend that did sincerely care.

TRIBUTE TO JACK BARRY
Artist and friend Jack Barry
Jack Barry who was born on April 17th
Born a day before and did succeed–
He was a great friend and artist indeed.
He took me to lunch when I first came
To the “Artist Hut”.
Yes, Jack had a studio in Flamingo Park
Next to railroad tracks where dogs always barked.
He did all kinds of style painting–
Fresco he was known for—
I have his one big painting by my door.
He was a great storyteller and a U.S. Vet-
He had a very interesting life of all the people
I have met.
I inherited his butterfly necklace people do see–
When I wear it around my neck all sparkly.
Thanks Jack for being a friend to me.

Ta-Shieka My Pup – Poem by Suzae Chevalier
Barking, barking your cute little bark-
I found you on a prayer and a lark.
You were a traveling “runaway pup”
who made your home anywhere
you’ld end up.
You were my birthday present
in 1993-
Straight from Kansas in the middle of wheat.
Now, I’m so happy
you became my pet
all those years I’ll never forget.
All the memories of running
in the fields
like when I sprained my ankle
you kneeled at my heels.
Making sure I was home & safe
I return the love in so many ways.
Now it’s sad that I was not with you
if I would of known earlier
I would of flew
flew up to see you.
One last precious time
to say “I love you pup” and
my say last goodbye…

Robert Santiago Likes My Act…Candice West Photographs
Comedy Cruise Lines judges had eyes on me–
performing with only me.
Miami Herald photographer Candice West
took photo that was in color, not like the rest.
Interviewed by the Miami Herald that day
Robert Santiago to see what I had to say.
At the Improve Comedy Club in the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel
I got to make the judges laugh and did quite well.
I told Robert, “I live my life on the edge–
I look forward to this” Enough said.
Robert Santiago emailed me later that day–
said “You are off the chain–
Thanks Robert, improv is what I do–
my act never the same!

WE NEED TO TAKE BACK THE SPIRITUAL LAND
Suzae Big Bear Lake
We need to take back the land
WE have the upper hand.
We have power and authority in
Jesus Christ—
Its not a game of chance like
A roll of the dice.
No- we are to have dominion of the earth
We had it once God gave us birth-
We just need to grab it by the horns
Say to Jesus, please forgive me—
I have sinned since I was born.
Our yokes are broken and we are
Not a slave to sin—
We are a new creature
With Jesus Christ we can win
Win over the enemy and
Take back the land—
We have victory already
For Jesus paid the price
He bought us through His blood
We should Thank Him more
Than twice-
but everyday
When we get up and go to sleep
For He loves us as His creation
And His Word is a mystery which is deep.
