MOTHER TO SONBy James Langston Hughes (1902-1967)

Abdullah Odeh

Well, son, I’ll tell you: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.

But all the time,I’se been climbin’ on,and reachin’ landin’s

And turnin’ cornersAnd sometimes goin’ in the dark

Where their ain’t be no light

So, boy don’t you turn your back,don’t you set down your steps, ‘cause

you finds it kinder hard

Don’t you fall now-

For I’se still goin’, honeyI’se still climbin’,

And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair
