Write a paragraph in response to the following questions: how does the poet present the mother's relationship with her son?

poem:
Mother to Son
BY LANGSTON HUGHES
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 a-climbin’ on,
And reachin’ landin’s,
And turnin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark
Where there ain’t been no light.
So boy, don’t you turn back.
Don’t you set down on the steps
’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.
Don’t you fall now—
For I’se still goin’, honey,
I’se still climbin’,
And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.

Answer 1

Me personally when I read the poem I first saw it as she was making it all about her if that makes sense then I read the rest and now I feel like she’s giving him a push of moral support to keep her child going :) hope this helps

Answer 2
