Personal Poems
Dad Is The Best Truck Driver by Suzae Chevalier
Dad’s full name Charles but you can call him Chuck
he was happiest when he was driving his Truck.
Peterbilt he says is the best-he won a “Safe Driver Award” for he was above the rest.
“Best Driver Of The Year” he was named, he had his award framed.
I will always remember the smell of gas
I love the smell, it would remind me of time gone past.
A memory in time of my childhood days
I sat in Dad’s Peterbilt at Dad’s Dahlen’s truck place
Dad started the engine and honked the horn it was very loud I did learn to scorn.
Respect “Truck Drivers” for they bring food and gas home they risk their life in a storm.
Dad would go on layovers, a 3 state run through these states he had a lot of fun.
He was an efficient driver he did always state, never falling asleep even when driving late.
He talked on the phone to all of his trucker friends
they had all kinds of stories that never did end.
I remember him coming home late one night—He looked tired but had a bite.
A very efficient driver he did always state he never fell asleep when he drove real late.
He talked on the phone to all of his trucker friends, trucker stories that never did end.
I remember him coming home late one night—he looked tired but had a bite.
4 hours of sleep he said he always had, he worked in the wee hrs. he was a brave Dad.
Thanks Dad for you are very dear, cherished childhood memories that bring a tear.

Andy At Studio 205 – Poem by Suzae Chevalier
We are made in God’s image. We have free will to choose Jesus. His Word could not be fulfilled if He didn’t give us free will. We should Thank Him everyday that He gives us free will. Free will is gone once you die, if you die without Jesus you are separated from God for eternity. Everything good is from God. There is no goodness in hell.
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!

Ta-Shieka My Pup – Poem by Suzae Chevalier
TaShieka my pup!
Smiling for the camera
you were the sunshine in my eye
You were the spirited pup
your loss made me cry and cry.
I should of brought you down here
but I was on the go–
I am grateful for the time with you
I do miss you so.
I hear your bark once in awhile
in my
inner ear–
happy you are still by me
your presence gives me cheer!

GECKOS ARE THERE FOR ME
Geckos are there for me playing outside by the trees.
My gecko friends love me
by being present for me outside
they are there for me
when things are up or down
deep inside.
They are not like humans
who have agendas indeed
geckos are always there for me.

THANK YOU JESUS FOR SAVING ME
I remember going to the ocean to relieve my pain back in that day, thank You Jesus for saving me.
Back in two thousand and twelve
I had pain I remember it well.
But now because Lord Jesus did save me–
I am free indeed.
Back then I prayed for a day without pain–
A day without pain would be so divine
feeling like a ray of bright sunshine.
Just beaming down below–
and falling softly like snow.
No pain is the goal–but really being HOLY NOW even more so.
for we have to win a lot of lost souls.

Perfect snowflakes
“Roses Are Blue Violets Are Red” (Who is this Bird who flies over my head) by Suzae Chevalier
Who is this bird flying over my head?
Roses are blue, violets are red
I have loving thoughts of you in my head.
In my heart they have been,
buried deep hiding within.
Roses are red violets are blue
I have good thoughts of you that are true
Please bring me some of your sunshine
I will be with you till the end of time.
Roses are blue violets are red
Who said we will soon wed?

Grandma’s House
My Dear Grandma Vivian Chevalier
My dear grandma always wrote to me–she loved reading my poetry. She was a great poet herself…she was a great poet like no one else. Remembering how sweet she was to me–Grandma here is a poem for you!
Butterfly, butterfly flying through the air–
flittering here and flittering there.
Landing on a flower just ahead
your wings glow on a flower bed.
I imagine my grandma’s flowers with color
each one is unique, not like the other.
It was in the spring with fragrance everywhere
it was happy times without a care.
Found memories of bread baking in the air
a special time I did share.
with Grandmother who is special and sweet–
she made all kinds of goodies and treats.
Like marsh mellows with fruit and whip topping too
I liked eating it after my dinner was through.
In backyard I did climb a tree
hurt my hand with a twig, I did bleed.
Rushed to the doctors really fast
they put stitches in, they didn’t last.
Memories of the farm I will remember
like Christmas time in December, receiving my Suzy doll with curls and funny times in the barn with the pigs…something my sister can not out live.
Thank you Grandma for believing in me-you are sweet and dear to me.
