Langston Hughes - Mother To Son
Work rating: High

	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.
