The same as Adrian, I had been looking for this poem for ages, with the
only difference that I had less places where to look. This poem left a very
deep mark in my soul and I always wanted to have the privilege to share it
with my friends all over the world. Thank you Langston for the poem and you
at the site for this incredible opportunity!

I am a mother to a son, I do not have words to describe the magnitude of
the love I feel for him. He is 15 years old now and the teen age years have
brought some distance between us. I e-mailed Langston Hughs' poem to him,
it is my hope that it will touch his heart. This beautiful poem is the
closest I can get to conveying the immense emotion I feel toward my beloved
son.

This poem and others Lnagston Hughes has written are beyond beautiful. His
poetry and plays are terrific. I love Mother to Son. I first read Mother to
Son years ago and I heard about Langston Hughes years ago and his writing
still inspires me to this day.

I went on this site for my english homework but got so much more! When I
read this poem I fell deeply in love with it! It has so much meaning to
everyone; NEVER GIVE UP WHEN SOMETHING IS HARD, BECAUSE OTHERS HAVE BEEN
THROUGH SO MUCH MORE! So I want to personally thank Mr. Sharp(my english
teacher) for coming up with this assignment! Thank-you Mr. Sharp!
