Tribute poems
Mayan Friend by Suzae Chevalier
There once a Mayan friend named Carlos
who was real sweet he was very generous and upbeat.
He would call me the artist Suzae–
he has my book “Sarah’s Special Birthday”
He was a friend who helped me change my locks
he would come to see me a couple of blocks.
See my landlord entered my apartment without telling me
Carlos came to make sure I had safety.
In my standup act he was the Mayan character who cared-
Carlos saw the landlord stalking but the landlord was unaware.
Unaware Mayan friend was watching him spray–
spray water all over my front door that day.
Razel also mentioned you were there when the lights went out
Razel had a ball with that when she started to shout!
Carlos was there for me to make sure I was O.K.
Thank you Carlos for being my friend
you have supported me when no one else did.
I will dedicate the next children’s picture book to you
you will be the giraffe you liked that was painted blue.
Remember “Razel is evil-
but Melodie loves you…!”

CHARMING CHARLIE by Suzae Chevalier
Charlie who I call Carlos all the time
was a enduring friend that had an
interesting life.
He was loved by many and
he had a smile like sunshine.
I remember when I took him for a ride.…
A ride in my Mustang convertible
in the summer time.
He made sure I was feed and bought
me Burger King–
He was there at moments in my life
like a flower loves the spring.
He showed up always to make sure
I was alright–
He was friend who I put in my comedy
act at night.
He also called me Puppet Lady to the friends
downtown–
Lake Worth won’t be the same without him
around.
HENRY’S VOICE IS OF A HEALING SOUND
Henry says sensational words to me…
that flow like honey during spiritual retreat.
His words “The love and the light that we are”…
make me feel like a shining star.
See Henry has a way with words…
his healing CD is the best I’ve heard.
His voice has a very healing sound that fills in the spaces all around.
“Creating Space” is what he says
to make us feel more empowered and totally blessed.
“Starting a new in all that you create today”
his words of wisdom is one of the ways.
Henry brings healing to his sound sessions in Delray.
His instruments have soothing sound to my ear
making relax and be in good cheer.
Thank you Henry for your thoughtfulness and insight-
and making the earth a better place
with your kindness and loving grace.

Andy At Studio 205 – Poem by Suzae Chevalier
Andy sits in Studio 205
that has many gifts on shelves inside
-like a scope that does collide.
Andy has every occasion greeting cards
-to send happy thoughts or your best regards.
He has spell books, and colored candles too
-interesting knick knacks, even voodoo.
Yes, a voodoo doll that is really cool.
Voodoo doll has the fantastic price of $9.99
place needles in pressure points on body so fine.
He has an armless chicken with a bikini on-
She looks respectful because she’s not wearing a thong
-unlike the room with the colorful dongs.
Andy helps people with problems no matter what day-
He is filled with wisdom and knows the right thing to say.
On my Birthday he gave me a mermaid Dora doll
-he knew I didn’t want a black & white stuffed cow.
I performed by reading Sarah’s Special Birthday
with my doll Melodie Mezoree’.
I was promoting my show in front of his store-
with Barnes & Noble reading flyers once more.
Andy supports local Artist and I remember him say-
“It’s all about you—not me today”
Andy just ran for City Commissioner
-in this Lake Worth town-
Andy gets the people’s vote-he won the crown!

TRIBUTE TO CHRIS PALACIO
All of Chris’s dear friends paid tribute
with kind words they did express.
They shared how he brought them such happiness.
He had a bright smile that brightened up any place

PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY EVERYDAY
Brave hearts that fought for our freedoms
people would not be freed
to give people of our country of liberty.
Through their brave act they sent our way
Being thankful we should pray for our nation every day.
Send prayers to the Jesus above
To bring peace to them and those they love.
We should give thanks to have the courage to carry on
Pray that they are safe, protected and strong.

Hats Off To You Dr. Cameron And Joann
Dr. Cameron with your shiny bright smile
let me stay longer and rest for a while.
I really felt rested finally at last-
I slept better that night on my back.
Thank you Dr. Cameron for your sincere concern
reminding me to build strength; be merry
which I took to heart and learned.
Dr. Cameron knows a lot about pain management
Jo Ann who is your receptionist is sweet and great
Jo Ann made room for me that very same day.
Jo Ann is very spiritual and has given me great advice
she knows firsthand and feels it’s a blessing I have a new life.
All of your clients take their hats off to both of you!
Your clients feel at home and soothed-
Thank You Dr. Cameron I feel renewed!

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.
