For Ellie
On the 24th November 2000 at 12:58 our daughter Gabrielle Morgen was still born.

This page is for her.Although Ellie never took a single breath the imprint she has left on our hearts is deeper than you can possibly imagine.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there,I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn rain.


When you awaken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there,I did not die
For Our Beautiful Little Girl
With all our love from Mummy and Daddy xxxx
Ellie
Through all the pain I could not see,
Why she took my child from me,
"My Lady" I cried in the night,
What can I do to make this right,
On my pillows tears soaked through,
Heartache in my soul untrue,
And then I felt her arms round me,
Her voice a lilting melody,
Your child is safe within my breast,
She does not sleep,she does not rest,
A gay small child with hair of white,
She dances all the day and night,
A light she brings unto these lands,
So fair of face,so light of hand,
I never meant to cause you pain,
One day you'll see her face again,
When she comes back, to guide your path,
To me she'll bring you with a laugh,
So happy all the day she is,
Certain in the love you give,
Let me wipe your tears away,
Be your Mother and your stay,
I will never leave your side,
When you need me Child just cry.
Call my name and I will come,
All your life I'll be the one.
