Mother to son response

Mother to son is a unique poem that dedicates a mother's life elloborating on how she never gave up ever in her life through better or worse. It shows a unique pattern ; first i notice how langston hughes starts the poem off issues in the mother's life and lists them example : Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor --
Bare.
Then continues the pattern of signs of hope for ex.But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
so it really goes to show how hard her life must've been and then she finishes off the poem with a message from mother to son ex : So boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now --
For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
it really is a great poem and always has a thought to give the reader about every time he/she reads it.
