"Life for me ain't been no crystal stair."

Authors Note: This is a short response for the poem "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes

In the poem "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes, He uses an amazing metaphor. "Life for me ain't been no crystal stair." Which means, that her life was not smooth and breezy. It wasn't easy, it was hard, painful. The mood and tone is inspiring, encouraging. She says that it wasn't easy but she stuck through it. She never had a simple, easy going life, but she kept climbing and made it to the top, she's delivered three simple words through-out the poem. Never. Give. Up.
