What does "Mother to Son" Mean to you?

Author's note: This is a short response to "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes, about what this poem means to me.

Have you ever had someone tell you don't give up?  In the poem "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes this is exactly what this poems meaning is.  A metaphor in this poem was "Life for me ain't been no crystal stairs".  To me this means life will never just be a fairytale, there will be some hardships.  The tone that I think that Hughes was trying to get across was really want the metaphor means to me.  Life will never be a fairytale there will always be a hardship you have to jump through.  The mood of the poem to me is, if something does not go exactly how you thought it would go it will be alright.  You just have to get through it and you do not have to go through it on your own.   This story to me is a very great lesson to everyone.
