Mother to son

 Mother to son was a poem I enjoyed because it didn't have any simple literature, there for it forced you to think deeply about the message of this poem. My theories were that the mother was  describing her life to the son. " Life for me ain't been no crystal stair", this probably means that the mothers life was no beautiful nor a easy stairway to higher success. this theory is also supported by the sentences " it had tacks in it, and boards torn up and places with no carpet on the floor-bare." These are rugid things.
       Yet the mother is also telling her son in my theory not to give up. " Don't you set down those stairs, don't you fall now." The mother also tells the son its gonna be harder in the end, if he does give up.
