"Mother to Son" is a famous and widely anthologized poem written by Langston Hughes, one of the leading figures of the Harlem Renaissance. The message in Langston Hughes' "Mother to Son" poem is for all sons who may feel alone and in need of wisdom. It reminds them that life is like climbing a staircase, full of ups and downs and the mother's advice is to keep moving forward, finding strength and guidance even when they believe they are without their mother's support.
Master Chief John Urgayle: [quoting "Self-Pity" by D.H. Lawrence] I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A bird will fall frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
