Synopsis
A Flower Has 7 Petals
A flower it had 7 petals,
Each one was blown away
Never did we ever expect
You wouldn't be here to stay
One petal held you for 9 months
A time that felt so long
Not long after meeting you,
It all went so horribly wrong
One petal was at your birth
A Grandma was over the moon,
Little did she know,
The petal would blow away soon
One petal came to visit you
A grandma filled with joyful tears
Little did she know
She would miss your important years
One petal was a doting Aunt
An Aunt with a loved filled heart
The love would last forever,
Even though you're far apart
One petal was your Uncle
Who didn't understand
The loss of your presence there
And wrote your name deep in the sand
About Caroline Elwood-Stokes
Caroline Elwood-Stokes, former player of Sheffield Wednesday Ladies. Kilnhurst, Sheffield United Ladies and published author is the founder of FOOTBALLS AWARENESS of MENTAL HEALTH (FAMH), an Organisation providing support and awareness to players, coaches and managers suffering with – or have suffered with – mental health issues.
“As an ex footballer myself, I lost my career abruptly 23 years ago,” said Elwood-Stokes. “I was not able to face football, I couldn’t even bear to hear the word and I went into a massive spiral of depression, so severely that I was self harming, taking over doses and planning my own death. Basically, if I couldn’t play football I wanted to be dead. After years of taking anti depressants and having many sessions of bereavement counselling to get over the loss of my career, I have finally returned to the game.”
