World Burn Congress 2000 Poems

The Hills

By: Michael Appleman

When Burn Survival begins

The support is not just from within,

To make it every day

Others have things to say,

No matter how it goes

Our progress will show,

So do not give up the fight

It will all turn out right.

Music

By: Michael Appleman

The music has its story

Which helps to keep us whole

Getting so much from its beauty

While we dance to our goals.

All types of music does it

The singer heals us so

Writers do not know us

But they keep us on the go.

Lets thank them for their stories

And the love they try to show

Keeping the musics' glory

We will never let recovery go.

Body Image

By: Michael Appleman

Our body image

Were does it begin?

Is it outside?

Or is it within?

Everyone has their own answer

And mine will always remain.

The outside beauty comes

From our heart, soul and brain.

World Burn Congress

By: Michael Appleman

Everyone has the experience

How their life quickly changed;

As time goes by they realize

There is so much they gained;

By meeting other Burn Survivors

They see life remains;

Each one cares for the other

Next year lets do it again.

Releasing

By: Michael Appleman

Releasing your feelings

In the place that is right,

Knowing others around are seeing

Your beauty is insight.

The tears are flowing

As you express the hot flight,

The memories are showing

Being here is just right.
