Mother to Son

mother to son by langston hughes is a poem that is about a mother talking to her son about life, and using stairs to represent her life. in this poem how she describes the stairs is being not perfect but at the same time not horrible. she is talking to her son and is telling him to not give up on life when it gets tough. i can relate to this poem in a way, because it is like when me and my mom have our little "serious talks." she gives me advice about stuff & tells me what mistakes she has made in life so that i try to avoid those same ones. i liked the peom mother to son by langston hughes.
