Poem
Little Jessica was six years old. Her mother walked her to school
everyday and she would pick her up from school and walk her home.
   As Jessica and her mom would walk to school, Jessica's little friends
in her class would pick on Jessica. Saying  her mom had ugly hands.
   Her Mother's hands  appeared somewhat deformed red, and scarred.
 This went on for a while and Jessica came home one day and went to 
her room and cried out loud on her bed, yelling I hate Mommy's Hands.
   She was having a breakdown from all the teasing the kids at school 
were teasing her about. She had enough and at that very moment she 
vented her anger toward her Mother.
   During this episode of Anger and Crying Jessica's father heard, and ran
up to Jessica's room to find out why Jessica was Crying and Yelling. 
  " I hate Mommy's hands."  She would say over and over.
  Her father asked Jessica to calm down and asked why she was upset. 
  Jessica explained to him that when Mommy took her to school her
classmates would notice her Mother's hands and laugh and make fun
of them and tell Jessica how ugly they were.
   Her father realized what had happened and He said." Jessica sit up 
Honey."
   Jessica sat up on the bed, her father said," Honey I am going to
tell you why your Mommy's Hands look the way they do. When you 
were a baby there was a second floor fire in our house, and you were
in your room in your crib. Your Mommy climbed up to the second floor
of the house grabbing the burning gutter, making her way up climbing. 
Each time when she touched the gutter she would burn her hand. She
never gave up until she rescued you from the fire. That is why your
Mommy's hands look the way they do. She loved you so much that she
did not stop climbing even though her hands were  being burned.
  Jessica now knew what her mom had done, and her tears began to flow.
  Jessica waited patiently for her mom. When her Mom arrived Jessica
gave her mother a big hug and told her Mother she had the most
beautiful hands in the whole world. She then kissed them and told her
mother she loved her. 
  Jessica's mother did not understand what had happened, until her husband 
later explained to her what had happened at school. Jessica was proud
to hold her Mother's hand and when she got to school she told everyone
why her Mother's hands look like they did. Her school friends never said
another word to her after learning the story behind Jessica's Mother's
Lovely Hands.
