Friend poems
My Friend Bill by Suzae Chevalier
Chalk painting donated to Saint Joseph’s Assistant Living
Half Italian, half Irish for his last name is Maroney
his name on stage rhymes with baloney.
He thinks my artwork is very colorful, with colors of May.
Now, he was good friends with my dear friend Jimmy,
they would go to all the restaurants in the Lake Worth city.
Now Bill is his first name but his middle name is John,
he was a economics professor in Michigan.
His mother is a sweetheart and she is still alive,
she is in upstate New York and almost ninety five.
Bill hopes to get in shape, I think he can doesn’t eat past eight.
Bill always visited me on Comedy Night at the Rumshack,
He always thought I was funny and laughed and laughed.
Thanks Bill for supporting me as an performing artist and
visual artist too, hopefully that big original painting will sale
when my book sales go through the roof.

ANGEL MY NIECE
Baptized in church in Minneapolis
it was a special day I would not miss.
I have a photo of you and me
we both were smiling happily.
Then when your first Christmas came
I got to see you once again.
First Christmas for baby Angel my niece
It was happy and filled with peace.
Then of course I would only see you sparingly.
I have pictures of your volleyball game
you are a teenager now you don’t look the same.
I also have photos of you and with Allisa at your grandma’s
You are very happy just because.
Because you are a sweet and caring girl
You are precious to the world.
I’m glad I saw you graduate
It was a glorious and memorable day.
Happy Birthday I also wanted to say
I hope you received your card I sent your way.

Sonny Days – Poem by Suzae Chevalier
Driving down A1A
I was with friend Sonny
during very sunny days.
Playing her radio very loud
we had a blast driving
through town.
Down, down to
Ft. Lauderdale
where there is a
tunnel that made
me pale.
Yes, I couldn’t wait
to get to the other side
cars coming at you
you could not hide
making it though and still alive
everything feels just so fine.
At the library we did type
getting things kicked out
like playing a melodie pipe.
Eating at a restaurant that very night,
Ft Lauderdale has changed so much in sight.
One things for sure and do say,
it was fun remembering those very
Very “Sonny Days”.

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

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.

Maya’s Martini
Maya Johnson and Martini
Martini the little shiatsu was cute as can be
Wagging his tail so carefree.
by the ocean with good friend Suzy.
Now he was very aware
for when he got scared
he hid under Maya’s desk
and there he would rest
his head on Maya’s small feet
then he’ld look up for a treat.
“Now why did you name him Martini? ”
I asked Maya quizzically one day.
Then Maya turned her head to say
“Well, this is the story Sue Chevalier–
“Martini was named after the club
where people like to dance–
I met my husband Ron
there by circumstance.”
All three used to live together by the sea
Martini passed on but Maya has fond memories
of her sweet Shiatsu dog named Martini.

Bradley The Kind Heart
I remember the day when Bradley came my way.
I was at Kinkos and approached Bradley with my book
I asked him for his opinion after he had a look.
Funny Bradley has one of my character’s names
I met his mother Jean and my life was never the same.
I helped Bradley’s mother at the end of her time here–
She was a great storyteller, artist, inventor and very sincere.
Jean said she loved Bradley and me and then she passed on
I bought Shieka pup for Laddy so he would’nt be withdrawn.
Now Bradley helped me out with Shieka and my Acura car
I drove Black Cherry for miles very far.
He was there when I bought Black Pearl
she is my new ride that was a miracle.
Bradley I have Sam the dog from the carnival
She helped Shieka and Shiekee bond real well.
Thank you Bradley, for you have a kind heart
your generosity helped me get a new start
