“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?

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—

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.

Bahamas Cruise 2006
Atlantic Ocean
On a cruise ship I did sail
going to the Bahamas
remembering it well.
Listening to bands that played
dance hits of their day–
That’s when the word
happy meant gay.
Taking photos on the deck
eating lobster, shrimp and steak.
Raining when ship does land
can not sunbathe on the sand.
Walking around to see the sights
Bahama’s tote bag I did buy–
A tote bag that caught my eye
even Bahamian lady very pleased.
I put them in my Bahama’s tote
More sightseeing before getting on boat.
Walking around the town
bargains everywhere to be found.
Now I will go back some day soon
I will look for stars and moons.

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.

PHILADELPHIA 2007
Suzae with Nikon camera
To Philadelphia 2007 to catch a long train from Penn Station
I went to Philly for a mini vacation.
Traveling over the longest bridge
chugging along a vast mountain ridge.
Visited publisher in Philly that day
it was warm and sunny I do say.
Waking up refreshed to sight see–
Taxi driver picked me up for free.
I saw statues with soldier on horse
I think it was Paul Revere who
rode on my birthday in 1776.
This was the last photo for we felt before we went back
afraid of homeless people sleeping with their sacks
My experience with downtown Philadelphia 2007 was not like heaven.

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.

MY AUNT AND UNCLE
As a child I remember those days
when Aunt Audrey would come from faraway.
Aunt Audrey was tall and wore jewelry like rings
she brought gifts and interesting things.
Aunt Audrey lived in Japan, the far east
she had an interesting life to say the least.
Her daughters Marlena and Renee
had played with us for a couple of days.
Then they would leave on a plane
I would see them again at an older age.
Uncle Norm I also saw when I was young
we traveled to Rhode Island when I was age 1.
Then I would see Aunt Audrey & Norm
in the sunshine state—
they lived in a development with wooden gates.
I celebrate Christmas and the holidays
with them and daughters Marlena and Renee.
They work in the movie business today
They have children and live in L.A.
