Ella-Mae Gleed Life Story & Time Line

Be good angels for Christmas
when the snow is laying
on the day called xmas eve,
santa creeps to our houses,
drops a present and leaves!
then when hes done our children,
rudolf flies up high
the angels hear the jingles,
as he swoops up into the sky,
so they hurry into bed,
and close their eyes to sleep,
but your special little angel,
just has to have a peep!
and over on a cloud,
is santa with a smile,
"would u like to come with me?
help me with gifts for a while"
your angel jumps on board,
and can not hide the glee,
as they fly around the heavens ,
and guess what they see??
there's 1 little house left,
and all the lights are low,
so they fly onto the roof
down the chimney they go!
santa drops the presents
and sits down on a chair
and waits for your angel
who is stroking your hair.
''im always near you family,
i'm never too far away,
and when u hear the children laughing,
u'll know its christmas day!

one Christmas wish x

I guess if I could make just one Christmas wish,
I would wish I could see you.
To hold, to snuggle, to just kiss,
This is something I'd really like to do.

My arms ache for my baby Girl,
Who will always remain just that.
To never grow and experience joy,
I wish I knew where you were at.

Why is it God thought he needed you more than I,
And why is it wishes can't come true?
I am just an aching heart who can only ask why,
And a mother who can't let go of you.

Please God grant me this one Christmas wish,
If just for a minute, an hour or a day.
She is someone I really need & miss,
What more must I say?

A Christmas Present

It's Christmas and I'll miss you
You'll never know how much
The greatest thing I could get
Would be just to feel your touch.

I know you're safe in God's arms
And you're as happy as can be
And I know that I'm being selfish
To want you here with me.

Have a lovely Christmas
I'll get by, you'll see
Just Promise me on Christmas day
That you will think of me

Twas the month before Christmas and I dreaded the days,
That I knew I was facing, the holiday craze.
The stores were all filled with holiday lights,
In hopes of drawing customers by day and by night.

As others were making their holiday plans,
My heart was breaking, I couldn't understand.
I had lost my child a few years before,
And I knew what my holiday had in store.

When out of nowhere, there arose such a sound,
I sprang to my feet and was looking around,
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash

The sight that I saw took my breath away,
And my tears turned to smiles in the light of the day.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a cluster of butterflies fluttering near.
With beauty and grace they performed a dance,
I knew in a moment this wasn't by chance.

The hope that they gave me was a sign from above,
That my child was still near me and that I was loved.
The message they brought was my holiday gift,
And I cried when I saw them in spite of myself.

As I knelt closer to get a better view,
One allowed me to pet it, as if it knew -
That I needed the touch of its fragile wings,
To help me get through the holiday scene.

In the days that followed I carried the thought,
Of the message the butterflies left in my heart -
That no matter what happens or what days lie ahead,
Our children are with us - they're not really dead.

Yes, the message of the butterflies still rings in my ears,
A message of hope - a message so dear.
And I imagined they sang as they flew out of sight,
'To all bereaved parents - We love you tonight!'

Memories of a special "Daughter" at Christmas...

Why were you taken? It doesn't seem fair.
And now there's a pain,that is so hard to bear.
Especially at Christmas,a joyous time of the year.
Which is all about families, but my memories are still clear.
And the fact is, my dear daughter that these pictures of you,
Do provide consolation and help me to get through.
You made everyone smile, You were as bright as the sun.
Simply bursting with love, giving laughter and fun.
So, although there is a sadness that we aren't together
The love you provided will live on forever.

Another year apart my darling... from heaven you will watch as your precious brothers rip open their presents & get all excited. Xmas wrapping paper every where. Mummy will make her excuses & have a little cry.

I will open your presents for you that are under your pretty pink tree... it should be you opening your presents & they should be dolly's & prams, dainty earrings, teddy's that you can cuddle & not for your memory box. A new xmas outfit & cosy p.j's & a fluffy dressing gown with pink slippers to match... that is what i would like to give you huni. A matching hat , scarf & mitten set in lilac to match your coat & little girls story book that i would have read to you as you nestled down in to your princess bed.

I can only just think of what i would have done with you... you are such a big girl now at 30 months old.

But you were too beautiful & precious for this earth & you were called away too soon.

You have a pice of my heart the day "god" called you home, so you know that part of me will be with you on this xmas day.

My forever girl, i love you
