Elise is graduating this year

I'm as proud as I can be

She's moving up and moving on

She stirs my memory

 

She looks just like her Mom

Walks just like her too

But she is her own person

And to herself is true

 

Off to study film making

At a community college here nearby

I'm going to show you a film she made

She's aiming for the sky

 





My family has just one more graduate

To go in the grandchildren category

Of course there are the great grand kids,

Now that's a different story

 

So here is Elise' s film from U-Tube

Just thought that I would share

How very talented she really is

Can't you tell how much I care?

 

Hooray for you Elise

Picked up some scholarships too

Soon you will be famous

Always know that I love you

 

Granny

I can see that you're proud of Elise, Elsie. (Sorry, I just had to do that.)

Thanks for sharing with Gather’s Best Writers & Artists.
Elsie Duggan Jun 24, 2011, 12:30am UTC
Yes I am so very proud of Elise, and sometimes I make a mistake myself :), I will not be able to attend the graduation as it is in an outdoor stadium, and I don't have the balance to try to climb those stairs with no railings, so will mine the baby while Billy, her brother and Stephanie go, She is okay with it, as sometimes when we go out to eat, she has to help me up over a curb,
I know it sounds like I am "old" or something, but have an arthritic back, great in a supermarket with a cart for stability, She is going to have someone film it for me, so I will see her graduate, thanks Len, love, Elsie

William Dotani Jun 20, 2011, 3:16am UTC
Your pride in her accomplishments is well penned in your verse.
Her music video is nice. It sounds somewhat like NYC New Wave music.
Elsie Duggan Jun 24, 2011, 12:35am UTC
Thank you William, I have no idea what type of music that is, I am a golden oldies girl, haven't moved on much, except for jazz, take care, love, Elsie
Kathryn Flynn Jun 20, 2011, 9:01am UTC
She does look a lot like her mom. She did a wonderful job on the video. She will do well in life. You are right to be proud of her, of your kids, grand kids and great grand kids...
Elsie Duggan Jun 24, 2011, 12:37am UTC
Thank you Kathryn, the resemblance in person is astounding, and I think she did a great job too, she has 11 videos on U tube and was hard to pick one, but love how she mimed the song, love, Elsie

It's wonderful and she's beautiful as well as talented. I do believe that talent runs deep in your family. Thank you for sharing her with us.
Elsie Duggan Jun 24, 2011, 12:39am UTC
Thank you for that wonderful comment Lee, do appreciate it, love, Elsie
Lynn P. Jun 21, 2011, 9:56am UTC
Multi-talented runs in the family, too? It looked like a video from MTV's early days. (Hey, MTV might still do music videos, but I haven't watched since their early days. lol)
Elsie Duggan Jun 24, 2011, 12:41am UTC
Yes, guess so, she is a great kid, we have dinner together once a week, and she pays,:), we share something and get mini deserts, have a lot of fun together, almost like being with her Mom, personalities and mannerisms so much alike, God has Blessed me twice, love, Elsie
lynn a. Jun 21, 2011, 12:51pm UTC
Can't see the video, maybe Moses can update the computer when he gets home. But at least I get to know about it. This is all so very wonderful. I hope she loves her stint in college.
Elsie Duggan Jun 24, 2011, 12:42am UTC
She is looking forward to college with great anticipation, she is taking a bus, which goes past her house, a loop bus, as she doesn't want to drive,because of cost of gas, she is smart that way too, thank you Lynn, love, Elsie
Kerry Dexter Jun 22, 2011, 8:25am UTC
she will treasure this poem and your love in years to come -- as I am sure she doen already. you find such lovely ways to share your family experiences with us, Elsie. thanks.
Elsie Duggan Jun 24, 2011, 12:44am UTC
Thank you Kerry, I sent her the link, tonight she is at her prom and she hasn't read it yet, has a beau and probably not a lot of time for reading email, but have reminded her and she said she would read it, love, Elsie
jeanne clarke Jun 22, 2011, 1:01pm UTC

No wonder, you're so proud,,,as it should be,,, We sure love our grandchildren,,, we are so Blessed,,, she did so good,,, God Bless her too,,,
Elsie Duggan Jun 24, 2011, 12:47am UTC
Thank you Marie, we sure do, and God Bless you, hope you are feeling stronger every day, must be a scary thing, I had to have an emergency pace maker put in about 9 years ago as my heart stopped, but have had it replaced once already, and it keeps on ticking, so I am lucky too, take care, and keep an upbeat attitude.
jeanne clarke Jun 24, 2011, 12:51am UTC
a friend of mine, his mother had a pace maker put in that was somehow checked and/or regulated via the phone. I thought this was quite remarkable!
Elsie Duggan Jun 24, 2011, 1:08am UTC
I have that machine, a small computer and they can make your heart go faster, or slow it down, just to test if it is working right, have it done every 45 days or so right now, amazing gadgets, love, Elsie
