Burn Man Poem by Aldo Kraas

Burn man
How lucky you are to be alive
Burn man
You were lucky that you didn’t burn your face
Burn man
You were in too much pain to think about anything else
The shock was big to you
Burn man
Somebody was there protecting you
Burn man
Those long days and hours in the hospital weren’t fun
Burn man
Fire is no fool’s game
Burn man
You have to be more careful next time
How many people get a second chance to live again?
Burn man
You were brave at this horrible moment
Burn man
The drive in the ambulance must have been a bad one
Burn man
The nurses and doctors took good care of you when you needed them
Burn man
The sun kept you spirits up
Burn man
You did all you had to do to get well and get back on your feet again
